Cloning and characterization of the C. elegans histidyl-tRNA synthetase gene.

abstract：:Although secondary structure predictions of an individual RNA sequence have been widely used in a number of sequence analyses of RNAs, accuracy is still limited. Recently, we proposed a method (called 'CentroidHomfold'), which includes information about homologous sequences into the prediction of the secondary structu...
