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. The source code of rip2
