Parametric analysis of RNA folding
Valerie Hower, Christine E. Heitsch
We extend recent methods for parametric sequence alignment to the parameter space for scoring RNA folds. This involves the construction of an RNA polytope. A vertex of this polytop…

Large Deviations for Random Trees and the Branching of RNA Secondary Structures
Yuri Bakhtin, Christine E. Heitsch
We give a Large Deviation Principle (LDP) with explicit rate function for the distribution of vertex degrees in plane trees, a combinatorial model of RNA secondary structures. We c…
