Fast and accurate structure probability estimation for simultaneous alignment and folding of RNAs with Markov chains

Abstract Motivation Simultaneous alignment and folding (SA&F) of RNAs is the indispensable gold standard for inferring the structure of non-coding RNAs and their general analysis. The original algorithm, proposed by Sankoff, solves the theoretical problem exactly with a complexity of $$O(n^6)$$...
