In this paper, we show an O(n 5 ) time approximation algorithm for optimizing structure and alignments of two RNA sequences with assuming that the optimal number of base-pairs is more than O(n 0.75 ). ...
In RNA0(N ), such a structure is also called an optimal N-common RNA secondary structure, and denoted by OP T (RNA 0 (N )). 3 1 − approximation algorithm for RNA 0 (2) As mentioned above, in RNA 0 (2), ...

A Classification of Bioinformatics Algorithms from the Viewpoint of Maximizing Expected Accuracy (MEA)

Journal of Computational Biology
We believe that this review will be useful not only for users wishing to utilize software to solve the estimation problems appearing in this article, but also for developers wishing to design algorithms ...
In general, it is difficult to design reliable estimators for this type of problem, because the number of possible solutions is immense, which leads to an extremely low probability for every solution-even ...

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Due to the recent discovery of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of those long RNA sequences is becoming increasingly important for classifying and determining the functional ...
