Abstract :
Determining RNA secondary structure computationally, rather than manually, has the advantage of being cheaper and quicker. This paper introduces a new set-based particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize the structure of an RNA molecule, using an advanced thermodynamic model. Results show that it is possible to use this SetPSO algorithm to optimise RNA secondary structure and produce candidate RNA conformations.
