Algorithms for the prediction of RNA secondary structures

In this paper, we tackle the problem of the prediction by energy computation of RNA stable secondary structures. We present, under the Hypothesis of Loops Dependent Energy (HLDE), our dynamic programming algorithm to compute the free energies of the stable secondary structures and our traceback algorithm to predict these structures. We compute the free energies of the stable secondary structures by using a new approach, called {it m-Multiloop Approach} ([Java Applet]-MA), [Java Applet]. This computation is achieved within a time proportional to [Java Applet] and using a memory space proportional to [Java Applet]. The prediction of the stable secondary structures is achieved within a time proportional to [Java Applet]. Compared to other approaches, the [Java Applet]-MA enables us to improve the estimation of the minimum energetic contributions of the {it multiloops}. And hence, it enables us to improve the estimation of the free energies of the stable secondary structures.
