Partition function for RNA secondary structure

Sampling RNA structures
• Y. Ding, C.E. Lawrence, Computers & Chemistry 23
(1999) 387-400 use Bayesian method to sample number of
loops, stacking energy tables, and secondary structures
using the full Turner energy model.
• Simplified IDEA for Nussinov-Jacobson model uses
recursive sampling procedure, which
given sequence
i,i+1,...,j
decides if j is unpaired, paired with i or paired with
intermediate i
