Abstract
It is an NP-hard problem for prediction of RNA folding structure including pseudoknots, biostatistics is one method of biological data mining, the computing algorithm of RNA structure data is the important in biology. we investigate the RNA pseudoknotted structure based on characteristics of the RNA folding structure , the paper first introduce the Basin Hopping Graph(BHG) as a novel model of RNA folding landscape. Our paper gives the computing algorithm of barrier tree based on the BHG, the experimental results in Rfam13.0 and PseudoBase indicate that the algorithm is more effective. We have improved several types of pseudoknots in RNA folding structure, and analyze their possible transitions between types of pseudoknots.
