Computerized analysis and prediction of RNA structure and function

核糖核酸（RNA）是构成细胞的主要分子之一，它们在基因表达中起着重要作用。为了了解细胞在遗传水平上是如何工作的，我们需要识别和表征细胞的重要RNA。然而，目前的实验方法来完成这项任务的应用是漫长和昂贵的，这造成了一个很大的延迟之前，功能的结果，序列信息是可用的。这项研究涉及计算方法的发展，通过快速建议优化发现过程的实验来加速RNA的鉴定和表征。本研究结果在RNA研究中具有广泛的应用价值。

Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) are among the main molecules that constitute the cell, and they play important roles in genetic expression. In order to understand how the cell works at the genetic level, we need to identify and characterize the important RNAs of the cell. However, the application of current experimental methods to accomplish this task is long and costly, which creates a large delay before functional results are obtained after the sequence information is made available. This research involves the development of computational approaches that will speed-up RNA identification and characterization by rapidly suggesting experiments that will optimize the discovery process. The results of this research have broader application in RNA research.
