A new mapping rule for RNA secondary structures with its applications

Journal of Mathematical Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

According to the characterization of RNA secondary structures, the RNA secondary structures are transformed into elementary sequences, namely characteristic sequences of RNA secondary structures, by representing A, U, G, C in A-U/ G-C pairs, as A′, U′, G′, C′. Based on the representation, three recurrences for mapping RNA secondary structures into 1-D graph, 2-D graph and 3-D graph are given, respectively. Furthermore, a frequency-based method for RNA secondary structures is given in terms of 1-D graph.
