Abstract

Noncoding RNA (ncRNA) plays a fundamental role in many biological processes. Models that can accurately describe the secondary structure of ncRNA molecules, therefore, are important for recognizing them in DNA genomes. The covariance model (CM) is one of the most accurate models that can describe the base pairs in the secondary structure of an ncRNA molecule. Methods based on CMs can achieve great accuracy ...
