Figure 1

Secondary structure elements of an RNA molecule represented by a base-pair graph (left) and as arc-annotated sequence (right). The depicted structure contains three stem-loop substructures. Observe that all arcs representing base pairings are non-crossing and stem-loop substructures can contain interior loops and bulges. Hence this molecule forms a non-crossing secondary structure that does not contain higher order structural elements like pseudoknots. Secondary structure drawings were generated with the VARNA program [55].
