RNA

Inverse folding problem

The goal of the inverse RNA folding problem is to generate RNA sequences which fold into a pre-determined shape.

Note: The inverse RNA folding problem may be more of a sampling problem than a constraint satisfaction problem, since the number of constraints per ribonucleotide is much smaller but the number of off-target foldings is much higher.

Datasets
