Background: In ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules whose function depends on their final, folded three-dimensional shape (such as those in ribosomes or spliceosome complexes), the se...
We introduce the notion of conservative edit distance and mapping between two RNA stem-loops. We show that unlike the general edit distance between RNA secondary structures, the co...
As one of the earliest problems in computational biology, RNA secondary structure prediction (sometimes referred to as "RNA folding") problem has attracted attention agai...
