motifs.•Modified nucleotides expand the repertoire of known nucleic acid structural …

Secondary structure plays an important role in determining the function of noncoding RNAs.
Hence, identifying RNA secondary structures is of great value to research. Computational …

Background The ability to access, search and analyse secondary structures of a large set of
known RNA molecules is very important for deriving improved RNA energy models, for …

RNA motifs are directed and ordered stacked arrays of non-Watson–Crick base pairs
forming distinctive foldings of the phosphodiester backbones of the interacting RNA strands …
