Temperature and Mutation Switches in the Secondary Structure of Small RNAs
Conformational switching in the secondary structure of RNAs has recently attracted considerable attention, fostered by the discovery of ‘riboswitches’ in living organisms. The...

Structural Alignment of Pseudoknotted RNA
In this paper, we address the problem of discovering novel non-coding RNA (ncRNA) using primary sequence, and secondary structure conservation, focusing on ncRNA families with pseu...
