Popis: Expression of mRNA is often regulated by the binding of a small RNA (miRNA, snoRNA, siRNA). While the pairing contribution to the net free energy is well parameterized and can be computed in O(N) time, the cost of removing pre-existing mRNA secondary structure has not received sufficient attention. Conventional methods for computing the unfolding free energy of a target mRNA are costly, scaling like the cube of the number of target bases O(N
