Abstract


Motivation It has been proven that the accessibility of the target sites has a critical influence on RNA-RNA binding in general and the specificity and efficiency of miRNAs and siRNAs in particular. Recently, O(N6) time and O(N4) space dynamic programming algorithms have become available that compute the partition function of RNA-RNA interaction complexes, thereby providing detailed insights into their thermodynamic properties. Results: Modifications to the grammars underlying earlier approaches enables the calculation of interactions probabilities for any given interval on the target RNA. The direct computation of the “hybrid probabilities” is complemented by a stochastic backtracing algorithm that produces samples from the Boltzmann ensemble of RNA-RNA interaction structures. The sampling of k structures requires only negligible additional memory resources and runs in O(k · N3). Availability: The algorithms described here are implemented in C as part of the rip package.
