Many computerized methods for RNA-RNA interaction structure prediction have been developed. Recently, $O(N^6)$ time and $O(N^4)$ space dynamic programming algorithms have become available that compute the partition function of RNA-RNA…

New high-throughput sequencing technologies have made it possible to pursue the advent of genome-wide transcriptomics. That progress combined with the recent discovery of regulatory non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) has necessitated fast and…

In this paper, we study the interaction of an antisense RNA and its target mRNA, based on the model introduced by Alkan {\it et al.} (Alkan {\it et al.}, J. Comput. Biol., Vol:267--282, 2006). Our main results are the derivation of the…

The task of RNA design given a target structure aims to find a sequence that can fold into that structure. It is a computationally hard problem where some version(s) have been proven to be NP-hard. As a result, heuristic methods such as…

Large RNA molecules often carry multiple functional domains whose spatial arrangement is an important determinant of their function. Pre-mRNA splicing, furthermore, relies on the spatial proximity of the splice junctions that can be…

RNA-RNA interaction (RRI) is ubiquitous and has complex roles in the cellular functions. In human health studies, miRNA-target and lncRNAs are among an elite class of RRIs that have been extensively studied. Bacterial ncRNA-target and RNA…

Identifying the secondary structure of an RNA is crucial for understanding its diverse regulatory functions. This paper focuses on how to enhance target identification in a Boltzmann ensemble of structures via chemical probing data. We…

Understanding the base pairing of an RNA sequence provides insight into its molecular structure.By mining suboptimal sampling data, RNAprofiling 1.0 identifies the dominant helices in low-energy secondary structures as features, organizes…

The design of multi-stable RNA molecules has important applications in biology, medicine, and biotechnology. Synthetic design approaches profit strongly from effective in-silico methods, which can tremendously impact their cost and…

We describe a dynamic programming algorithm for predicting optimal RNA secondary structure, including pseudoknots. The algorithm has a worst case complexity of ${\cal O}(N^6)$ in time and ${\cal O}(N^4)$ in storage. The description of the…

It has been shown that minimum free energy structure for RNAs and RNA-RNA interaction is often incorrect due to inaccuracies in the energy parameters and inherent limitations of the energy model. In contrast, ensemble based quantities such…

Summary: We introduce RBPBind, a web-based tool for the quantitative prediction of RNA-protein interactions. Given a user-specified RNA and a protein selected from a set of several common RNA-binding proteins, RBPBind computes the binding…

We propose a data-driven approach using a Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) to solve the Schr\"odinger equation in configuration space. Traditional Configuration Interaction (CI) methods construct the wavefunction as a linear combination…

Recently, a framework considering RNA sequences and their RNA secondary structures as pairs, led to some information-theoretic perspectives on how the semantics encoded in RNA sequences can be inferred. In this context, the pairing arises…

Background: In the Nearest-Neighbor Thermodynamic Model, a standard approach for RNA secondary structure prediction, the energy of the multiloops is modeled using a linear entropic penalty governed by three branching parameters. Although…

The Random Batch Method (RBM) proposed in [Jin et al. J Comput Phys, 2020] is an efficient algorithm for simulating interacting particle systems (IPS). In this paper, we investigate the Random Batch Method with replacement (RBM-r), which is…

Nucleic acid sequence design via codon optimization is a fundamental task with applications across synthetic biology, mRNA therapeutics, and vaccine design. Given a target protein, it is a major open challenge to navigate the…

RNA function crucially depends on its structure. Thermodynamic models currently used for secondary structure prediction rely on computing the partition function of folding ensembles, and can thus estimate minimum free-energy structures and…

The statistical mechanics of heteropolymer structure formation is studied in the context of RNA secondary structures. A designed RNA sequence biased energetically towards a particular native structure (a hairpin) is used to study the…

The ability of oligonucleotide microarrays to measure gene expression has been hindered by an imperfect understanding of the relationship between input RNA concentrations and output signals. We argue that this relationship can be understood…
