Question

The application of SCFGs to RNA secondary structure analysis is very similar in form to the probabilistic covariance models.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me during an internship interview.

I would like to ask this question from Minimum Free in chapter RNA Structure Prediction of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) True

Explanation: For RNA, the symbols of the alphabet are A, C, G, and U. The context-free grammar establishes a set of rules called productions for generating the sequence from the alphabet, in this case an RNA molecule with sections that can base-pair and others that cannot base-pair.
