Candidate list approach for sparsification of RNA secondary structure prediction. In the class, we have discussed this method for base pair maximization and energy minimization; the latter as transfer of the former, rather shortly.

Based on this paper, we discussed sparsification based on OCT property of subsequences S_i..j; time efficient as well as time and space efficient variants; furthermore, sparsification based on OCT and STEP properties. The latter requires forward dynamic programming. Similar sparsification is applied to simultaneous alignment and folding. Finally (going beyond this paper), we have seen how similar methods can be applied to speed up other prediction problems like prediction with pseudoknots and prediction of RNA-RNA-interaction.
