Dataset of 460 RNAs secondary structures in Dot-Bracket notation for measuring the computational time of ASPRAlign and SERNAlign tools.

Dataset of 460 RNAs secondary structures in Dot-Bracket notation for measuring the computational time of:- generating Structural Trees- generating Structural Sequences- computing the ASPRA distance among all the molecules- computing the SERNA distance among all the molecules<br>The molecules were extracted from the RNA STRAND databasehttp://www.rnasoft.ca/strand/Andronescu, M., Bereg, V., Hoos, H.H., Condon, A.: RNA STRAND: The RNA Secondary Structure and Statistical Analysis Database. BMC Bioinformatics 9, 340 (2008)with the following criteria:<br>- length from 1000 to 1700 nucleotides- at least one pseudoknot present<br>The CSV files are described in the following:- structsASPRA.csv contains the times to generate the Structural Trees of the 460 molecules using the tool ASPRAlign available at https://github.com/bdslab/aspralign - structsSERNA.csv contains the times to generate the Structural Sequences of the 460 molecules using the tool SERNAlign available at https://github.com/bdslab/sernalign- cmpASPRA.csv contains the times to compute the ASPRA distance among all the pairs of the 460 molecules- cmpSERNA.csv contains the times to compute the SERNA distance among all the pairs of the 460 moleculesThis dataset was used in the following papersQuadrini, Michela, Tesei, Luca, Merelli, Emanuela: ASPRAlign: a tool for the alignment of RNA secondary structures with arbitrary pseudoknots.
