Heuristic RNA pseudoknot prediction including intramolecular kissing hairpins.
Pseudoknots are an essential feature of RNA tertiary structures. Simple H-type pseudoknots have been studied extensively in terms of biological functions, computational prediction, and energy models. Intramolecular kissing hairpins are a more complex and biologically important type of pseudoknot in which two hairpin loops form base pairs. They are hard to predict using free energy minimization ...
متن کاملPrediction of RNA Secondary Structure Including Kissing Hairpin Motifs
We present three heuristic strategies for folding RNA sequences into secondary structures including kissing hairpin motifs. The new idea is to construct a kissing hairpin motif from an overlay of two simple canonical pseudoknots. The difficulty is that the overlay does not satisfy Bellman’s Principle of Optimality, and the kissing hairpin cannot simply be built from optimal pseudoknots. Our str...
متن کاملHigh sensitivity RNA pseudoknot prediction
Most ab initio pseudoknot predicting methods provide very few folding scenarios for a given RNA sequence and have low sensitivities. RNA researchers, in many cases, would rather sacrifice the specificity for a much higher sensitivity for pseudoknot detection. In this study, we introduce the Pseudoknot Local Motif Model and Dynamic Partner Sequence Stacking (PLMM_DPSS) algorithm which predicts a...
متن کاملNew Heuristic Algorithm of RNA Structure Prediction Including Pseudoknots
Computational models and methods for predicting secondary structure of RNA sequence are in demand. Based on MFE principle and the relative stability of the n-stems in RNA molecules, Minimum Free Energy method is adopted widely to predict RNA secondary structure. An improved heuristic algorithm is presented to predict RNA pseudoknotted structure, and it can compute arbitrary pseudoknots. The alg...
متن کاملHotKnots: heuristic prediction of RNA secondary structures including pseudoknots.
We present HotKnots, a new heuristic algorithm for the prediction of RNA secondary structures including pseudoknots. Based on the simple idea of iteratively forming stable stems, our algorithm explores many alternative secondary structures, using a free energy minimization algorithm for pseudoknot free secondary structures to identify promising candidate stems. In an empirical evaluation of the...
