BRASERO: A Resource for Benchmarking RNA Secondary Structure Comparison Algorithms
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pairwise comparison of RNA secondary structures is a fundamental problem, with direct application in mining databases for annotating putative noncoding RNA candidates in newly sequenced genomes. An increasing number of software tools are available for comparing RNA secondary structures, based on different models (such as ordered trees or forests, arc annotated sequences, and multilevel trees) and computational principles (edit distance, alignment). We describe here the website BRASERO that offers tools for evaluating such software tools on real and synthetic datasets.

متن کاملA comprehensive comparison of general RNA-RNA interaction prediction methods.
RNA-RNA interactions are fast emerging as a major functional component in many newly discovered non-coding RNAs. Basepairing is believed to be a major contributor to the stability of these intermolecular interactions, much like intramolecular basepairs formed in RNA secondary structure. As such, using algorithms similar to those for predicting RNA secondary structure, computational methods have...

Actinomycetes are inexhaustible producers of commercially valuable metabolites, are continually screened for beneficial compounds. The taxonomic and phylogenetic study of novel actinomycetes strains are mostly based on conventional methods and primary DNA structure of 16s rRNA. Although 16s rRNA sequence is well accepted in phylogeny studies, its secondary structures have not been widely used. ...
متن کاملBenchmarking RNA secondary structure comparison algorithms
Since the last ten years several tools have been proposed for RNA secondary structure pairwise comparison. These tools use different models (ordered tree or forest, arc annotated sequence, multi-level tree) and methods (edit distance, alignment). We present a first benchmark on these tools. For various RNA families, we built two sets of secondary structures. The first, called the reference set,...
