Capturing alternative secondary structures of RNA by decomposition of base-pairing probabilities
BMC Bioinformatics, 2018 Background It is known that functional RNAs often switch their functions by forming different secondary structures. Popular tools for RNA secondary structures prediction, however, predict the single ‘best’ structures, and do not produce alternative ...

Orthogonal Base Pairs Continue to Evolve [PDF]
Chemistry & Biology, 2004 Recent developments in the design and construction of unusual analogs of the natural nucleic acid bases have reached a milestone with the report (in this issue of Chemistry & Biology) of a new orthogonal base pair that allows site-specific introduction of a photo-crosslinkable modified base into an RNA molecule by T7 RNA polymerase-mediated ...

A potentially abundant junctional RNA motif stabilized by m6A and Mg2+
Nature Communications, 2018 N 6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is a post-transcriptional RNA modification that modulates RNA structure through a destabilization of m6A base pairing. Here the authors use NMR and UV melting experiments and show that m6A can also stabilize m6A–U base pairs and

Cryptography, 2018 Attribute-based encryption (ABE) is used for achieving data confidentiality and access control in cloud environments. Most often ABE schemes are constructed using bilinear pairing which has a higher computational complexity, making algorithms inefficient

On randomization-based causal inference for matched-pair factorial designs [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Under the potential outcomes framework, we introduce matched-pair factorial designs, and propose the matched-pair estimator of the factorial effects. We also calculate the randomization-based covariance matrix of the matched-pair estimator, and provide the "Neymanian" estimator of the covariance matrix.

Base-pairing versatility determines wobble sites in tRNA anticodons of vertebrate mitogenomes.
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundVertebrate mitochondrial genomes typically have one transfer RNA (tRNA) for each synonymous codon family. This limited anticodon repertoire implies that each tRNA anticodon needs to wobble (establish a non-Watson-Crick base pairing between two ...

Impurity effect as a probe for the pairing symmetry of graphene-based superconductors [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The single impurity effect on the graphene-based superconductor is studied theoretically. Four different pairing symmetries are discussed. Sharp resonance peaks are found near the impurity site for the $d+id$-wave pairing symmetry and the $p+ip$-wave pairing symmetry when the chemical potential is large.
