Abstract :
Our goal is to determine whether a stem-loop metric or combination of stem-loop metrics can be used to identify structural RNAs along genomic sequences across the entire GC content spectrum. Herein we describe the first step towards this goal by comparing selected stem-loop metric valuations between structural RNAs and their genomic counterparts.
