Adapting And Enhancing Hybrid Computational Methods For RNA Secondary Structure Prediction

The secondary structure of RNA with pseudoknots is widely utilized for tracing the RNA tertiary structure, which is a key to understanding the functions of the RNAs and their useful roles in developing drugs for viral diseases. Experimental methods for determining RNA tertiary structure are time con...
