TLDR
It is shown that the folding pathway simulation can result in structure predictions that are more consistent with phylogenetically proven structures than minimum energy solutions, suggesting that RNA folding kinetics is very important for the formation of functional RNA structures.

Expanded sequence dependence of thermodynamic parameters improves prediction of RNA secondary structure.

TL;DR: An improved dynamic programming algorithm is reported for RNA secondary structure prediction by free energy minimization and experimental constraints, derived from enzymatic and flavin mononucleotide cleavage, improve the accuracy of structure predictions.

Incorporating chemical modification constraints into a dynamic programming algorithm for prediction of RNA secondary structure

TL;DR: A dynamic programming algorithm for prediction of RNA secondary structure has been revised to accommodate folding constraints determined by chemical modification and to include free energy increments for coaxial stacking of helices when they are either adjacent or separated by a single mismatch.

A dynamic programming algorithm for RNA structure prediction including pseudoknots

TL;DR: This is the first algorithm to be able to fold optimal (minimum energy) pseudoknotted RNAs with the accepted RNA thermodynamic model and a useful graphical representation borrowed from quantum field theory is adopted.

Dengue Virus Structural Differences That Correlate with Pathogenesis

TL;DR: A method for comparing dengue type 2 genomes (reverse transcriptase PCR in six fragments) directly from patient plasma is developed to better reflect the true composition of viral RNA populations in the natural host and permit their association with pathogenesis.

Hierarchy and dynamics of rna folding

TL;DR: Recent data point to the central controlling and monitoring roles of RNA-binding proteins that can bind to the different folding stages, either before full establishment of the secondary structure or at the molten globule state before the cooperative transition to the final three-dimensional structure.
