Open AccessLost in folding space? Comparing four variants of the thermodynamic model for RNA secondary structure prediction
Many bioinformatics tools for RNA secondary structure analysis are based on a thermodynamic model of RNA folding. They predict a single, "optimal" structure by free energy minimization, they enumerate near-opt...

Open AccessConStruct: Improved construction of RNA consensus structures
Aligning homologous non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) correctly in terms of sequence and structure is an unresolved problem, due to both mathematical complexity and imperfect scoring functions. High quality alignments,...

Open AccessAn enhanced RNA alignment benchmark for sequence alignment programs
The performance of alignment programs is traditionally tested on sets of protein sequences, of which a reference alignment is known. Conclusions drawn from such protein benchmarks do not necessarily hold for t...
