Prediction of alternative RNA secondary structures based on fluctuating thermodynamic parameters.
In this paper we present a new method for predicting a set of RNA secondary structures that are thermodynamically favored in RNA folding simulations. This method uses a large number of 'simulated energy rules' (SER) generated by perturbing the free energy parameters derived experimentally within the range of the experimental errors. The structure with the lowest free energy is computed for each...
متن کاملConserved RNA secondary structures promote alternative splicing.
Pre-mRNA splicing is carried out by the spliceosome, which identifies exons and removes intervening introns. Alternative splicing in higher eukaryotes results in the generation of multiple protein isoforms from gene transcripts. The extensive alternative splicing observed implies a flexibility of the spliceosome to identify exons within a given pre-mRNA. To reach this flexibility, splice-site s...
متن کاملExpanded sequence dependence of thermodynamic parameters improves prediction of RNA secondary structure.
An improved dynamic programming algorithm is reported for RNA secondary structure prediction by free energy minimization. Thermodynamic parameters for the stabilities of secondary structure motifs are revised to include expanded sequence dependence as revealed by recent experiments. Additional algorithmic improvements include reduced search time and storage for multibranch loop free energies an...
متن کاملThermodynamic and phylogenetic prediction of RNA secondary structures in the coding region of hepatitis C virus.
The existence and functional importance of RNA secondary structure in the replication of positive-stranded RNA viruses is increasingly recognized. We applied several computational methods to detect RNA secondary structure in the coding region of hepatitis C virus (HCV), including thermodynamic prediction, calculation of free energy on folding, and a newly developed method to scan sequences for ...
متن کاملthe role of task-based techniques on the acquisition of english language structures by the intermediate efl students
this study examines the effetivenss of task-based activities in helping students learn english language structures for a better communication. initially, a michigan test was administered to the two groups of 52 students majoring in english at the allameh ghotb -e- ravandi university to ensure their homogeneity. the students scores on the grammar part of this test were also regarded as their pre...
