The Pacific salmonid species Oncorhynchus mykiss is separated into a migratory form (steelhead trout) and a
non-migratory form (rainbow trout). A decrease in water temperature is likely a cue triggering downstream
behavior in the migratory form, and testosterone inhibits onset of this behavior. To elucidate differences in
sensitivity to water...
RNAs play important roles in multiple cellular processes, and many of their functions rely on folding to specific structures. To maintain their functions, secondary structures of RNA homologs are conserved across evolution. These conserved structures provide critical targets for diagnostics and therapeutics. Thus, there is a need for developing fast...
RNAs play important roles in the central dogma of molecular biology, and are involved in multiple biology processes such as chromatin modification, transcriptional interference and translation initiation. The functions of RNAs, especially non-coding RNAs, are highly related to its secondary structures, therefore computational methods for RNA structure prediction are of...
