Automatic generation of pseudoknotted RNAs taxonomy by Michela Quadrini, Luca Tesei, Emanuela Merelli

“…Abstract Background The ability to compare RNA secondary structures is important in understanding their biological function and for grouping similar organisms into families by looking at evolutionarily conserved sequences such as 16S rRNA. Most comparison methods and benchmarks in the literature focus on pseudoknot-free structures due to the difficulty of mapping pseudoknots in classical tree representations. …”
