Automatic RNA secondary structure prediction with a comparative approach.

Abstract excerpt

This paper presents an algorithm, DCFold, that automatically predicts the common secondary structure of a set of aligned homologous RNA sequences. It is based on the comparative approach. Helices are searched in one of the sequences, called the 'target sequence', and compared to the helices in the other sequences, called the 'test sequences'. Our algorithm searches in the target sequence for palindromes that have...
