Predicting the secondary structure of an RNA sequence is an important problem in structural bioinformatics. The general RNA folding problem, where the sequence to be folded may con...
In a recent paper (Preparata et al., 1999) we introduced a novel probing scheme for DNA sequencing by hybridization (SBH). The new gapped-probe scheme combines natural and univers...
The conserved sequences in gene regulatory regions dominate gene regulation. Discovering these sequences and their functions is important in post genome era. A novel model is cons...

Background: DNA sequence comparison is a well-studied problem, in which two DNA sequences are compared using a weighted edit distance. Recent DNA sequencing technologies however o...
We present the rst sublinear-time algorithms for computing order statistics in the Farey sequence and for the related problem of ranking. Our algorithms achieve a running times o...
