Background: Comparative prediction of RNA structures can be used to identify functional noncoding RNAs in genomic screens. It was shown recently by Babak et al. [BMC Bioinformatic...
For complex data mining queries, query optimization issues arise, similar to those for the traditional database queries. However, few works have applied the cost-based query optim...
Background: The general problem of RNA secondary structure prediction under the widely used thermodynamic model is known to be NP-complete when the structures considered include a...
