Ribonucleoprotein interactions play important roles in a wide variety of cellular processes, ranging from transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression to host defense against pathogens. High throughput experiments to identify RNA-protein interactions provide information about the complexity of interaction networks, but require time and considerable efforts. Thus, there is need for reliable computational methods for predicting ribonucleoprotein interactions. In this
