Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a naturally occurring phenomenon that results in the suppression of a target RNA sequence utilizing a variety of possible methods and pathwa...
mRNA molecules are folded in the cells and therefore many of their substrings may actually be inaccessible to protein and microRNA binding. The need to apply an accessability crite...

Many bioinformatics studies require the analysis of RNA or DNA structures. More specifically, extensive work is done to elaborate efficient algorithms able to predict the 2-D fold...
In this paper, we study k-noncrossing, -canonical RNA pseudoknot structures with minimum arc-length greater or equal to four. Let T OE4 k; .n/ denote the number of these structure...
