A weighted sampling algorithm for the design of RNA sequences with targeted secondary structure and nucleotides distribution

چکیده
Motivations: The design of RNA sequences folding into predefined secondary structures is a milestone for many synthetic biology and gene therapy studies. Most of the current software uses similar local search strategies (i.e. a random seed is progressively adapted to acquire the desired folding properties) and more importantly do not allow the user to control explicitly the nucleotide distribution such as the GC-content in their sequences. However, the latter is an important criterion for large-scale applications as it could presumably be used to design sequences with better transcription rates and/or structural

متن کاملAn Adaptive Defect Weighted Sampling Algorithm to Design Pseudoknotted RNA Secondary Structures
Computational design of RNA sequences that fold into targeted secondary structures has many applications in biomedicine, nanotechnology and synthetic biology. An RNA molecule is made of different types of secondary structure elements and an important RNA element named pseudoknot plays a key role in stabilizing the functional form of the molecule. However, due to the computational complexities a...
متن کاملRelation Between RNA Sequences, Structures, and Shapes via Variation Networks
Background: RNA plays key role in many aspects of biological processes and its tertiary structure is critical for its biological function. RNA secondary structure represents various significant portions of RNA tertiary structure. Since the biological function of RNA is concluded indirectly from its primary structure, it would be important to analyze the relations between the RNA sequences and t...
متن کاملFast Algorithms for RNA Secondary Structure Prediction
RNA secondary structure prediction with pseudoknots is important, since pseudoknots are part of functionally improtant RNAs in cells. State of the art dynamic programming algorithms due to Akutsu et al [7] and Deogun et al [8] perform well on single RNA sequences. Our aim of this project is to be able to predict secondary structure of real life RNA sequences, which can be more than 700 nucleoti...
