Title: Unifying evolutionary and thermodynamic information for RNA folding of multiple alignments
  • Document date: 2008_10_4

    Snippet: In this article, we extend Pfold (27) to simultaneously use evolutionary and energetic information while searching for the common structure in a set of prealigned sequences. The probabilistic approach underlying Pfold combines an explicit evolutionary model of the RNA sequences with a probabilistic model of the secondary structures. When trying to extend this approach to incorporate thermodynamic folding, the first idea was to develop a combined .....
    Document: In this article, we extend Pfold (27) to simultaneously use evolutionary and energetic information while searching for the common structure in a set of prealigned sequences. The probabilistic approach underlying Pfold combines an explicit evolutionary model of the RNA sequences with a probabilistic model of the secondary structures. When trying to extend this approach to incorporate thermodynamic folding, the first idea was to develop a combined probabilistic model for evolution and folding, using the partition function approach of McCaskill (28) as a probabilistic model for thermodynamic folding.
