Motif finding in DNA, RNA and proteins plays an important role in life science research. Recent patents concerning motif finding in biomolecular data are recorded in the DNA Patent Database which serves as a resource for policy makers and members of the general public interested in fields like genomics, genetics and biotechnology. In this paper, we present a computational approach to mining for RNA tertiary motifs in genomic sequences. Specifically, we describe a method, named CSminer, and show…

Annotation of tertiary interactions in RNA structures reveals variations and correlations.
TLDR
A comprehensively analyzed data set of 54 high-resolution RNA crystal structures reveals the diversity and variety of A-minor motif interactions and the various possible loop-loop receptor interactions that expand upon the tetraloop-tetraloop receptor.
The building blocks and motifs of RNA architecture.
Sequence to Structure (S2S): display, manipulate and interconnect RNA data from sequence to structure
TLDR
Sequence to Structure (S2S) proposes a framework in which an user can easily display, manipulate and interconnect heterogeneous RNA data, such as multiple sequence alignments, secondary and tertiary structures.
Analysis of four-way junctions in RNA structures.
The ever-growing complexity of nucleic acids: from small DNA and RNA motifs to large molecular assemblies and machines.

Predicting coaxial helical stacking in RNA junctions
TLDR
A computational method to predict, at the secondary structure level, the coaxial helical stacking arrangement in junctions, as well as classify the junction topology, using a data mining approach known as random forests.
Structure of the 30S ribosomal subunit
TLDR
The crystal structure of the 30S subunit from Thermus thermophilus, refined to 3 Å resolution, is reported, which will facilitate the interpretation in molecular terms of lower resolution structural data on several functional states of the ribosome from electron microscopy and crystallography.
Thermodynamics of three-way multibranch loops in RNA.
TLDR
Systems in which two strands combine to form three-way junctions were used to measure the stabilities of RNA multibranch loops by UV optical melting and isothermal titration calorimetry, and the free energy increment was calculated on the basis of a nearest neighbor model for secondary structure stability.
Fluorescence Competition and Optical Melting Measurements of RNA Three-Way Multibranch Loops Provide a Revised Model for Thermodynamic Parameters†
TLDR
UV optical melting and a fluorescence competition assay are used to measure stabilities of multibranch loops containing up to five unpaired adenosines or uridines or a loop E motif and the results should help to improve predictions of RNA secondary structure.
