Automatic Detection of Conserved RNA Structure Elements in Complete RNA Virus Genomes

Hofacker, Ivo L.; Fekete, Martin; Flamm, Christoph; … - Santa Fe Institute - 1998

We propose a new method for detecting conserved RNA secondary structures in a family of related RNA sequences. Our … virus. Our method confirms the known structures in HIV-I and predicts previously unknown conserved RNA secondary structures …

Fitness Landscapes Arising from the Sequence-Structure Maps of Biopolymers

Stadler, Peter F. - Santa Fe Institute - 1997

Fitness landscapes are an important concept in molecular evolution since evolutionary adaptation as well as {\it in vitro} selection of biomolecules can be viewed as a hill-climbing-like process. Global features of landscapes can be described by statistical measures such as correlation functions...

Sequence Redundancy in Biopolymers: A Study on RNA and Protein Structures

Schuster, Peter; Stadler, Peter F. - Santa Fe Institute - 1997

Mapping sequences onto biopolymer structures is characterized by redundancy since the numbers of sequences exceed the numbers of structures. The degree of Redundancy depends on the notion of structure. Two classes of biopolymers, RNA molecules and proteins are considered in detail. A general...

Shaping Space: The Possible and the Attainable in RNA Genotype-Phenotype Mapping

Fontana, Walter; Schuster, Peter - Santa Fe Institute - 1997

genotype space. The folding of RNA sequences (genotypes) into secondary structures (phenotypes) is an ideal case to implement … minimum free energy secondary structures. The resulting nearness relation suggests a notion of ``continuous'' structure …
