Fine-tuning structural RNA alignments in the twilight zone

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>A widely used method to find conserved secondary structure in RNA is to first construct a multiple sequence alignment, and then fold the alignment, optimizing a score based on thermodynamics and covariance. This method works best aro...
