In recent studies non-coding RNA gets more attention. For these RNAs that perform various roles within the cell, structure is much more important then the sequence. This talk will encompass:
Different approaches to gauge similarity/distance between RNA structures.
Contraction of RNA structures from favoritble building blocks in order to manifacture active RNAs.
Extended RNA inverse - design RNA that will fold to a desired structure and physical properties.
