Prediction of RNA secondary structure using generalized centroid estimators
MOTIVATION Recent studies have shown that the methods for predicting secondary structures of RNAs on the basis of posterior decoding of the base-pairing probabilities has an advantage with respect to prediction accuracy over the conventionally utilized minimum free energy methods. However, there is room for improvement in the objective functions presented in previous studies, which are maximize...
متن کاملImproved Measurements of RNA Structure Conservation with Generalized Centroid Estimators
Identification of non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in genomes is a crucial task for not only molecular cell biology but also bioinformatics. Secondary structures of ncRNAs are employed as a key feature of ncRNA analysis since biological functions of ncRNAs are deeply related to their secondary structures. Although the minimum free energy (MFE) structure of an RNA sequence is regarded as the mos...
متن کاملGeneralized Centroid Estimators in Bioinformatics
In a number of estimation problems in bioinformatics, accuracy measures of the target problem are usually given, and it is important to design estimators that are suitable to those accuracy measures. However, there is often a discrepancy between an employed estimator and a given accuracy measure of the problem. In this study, we introduce a general class of efficient estimators for estimation p...
متن کاملRNA Secondary Structure Prediction Using Hierarchical Folding
Algorithms for prediction of RNA secondary structure— the set of base pairsthat form when an RNA molecule folds— are valuable to biologists who aim tounderstand RNA structure and function. Improving the accuracy and efficiencyof prediction methods is an ongoing challenge, particularly for pseudoknottedsecondary structures, in which base pairs overlap. This challenge is biologica...
متن کاملRNA Secondary Structure Prediction.
In this unit, protocols are provided for predicting RNA secondary structure with the user-friendly RNAstructure desktop computer program and the RNAstructure Web server. The minimum free energy structure and a set of suboptimal structures with similar free energies are predicted. Prediction of high-affinity oligonucleotide binding sites to a structured RNA target is also presented. © 2016 by Jo...
