使用一整套生物学相关的编辑操作来比较RNA结构是棘手的
Comparing RNA structures using a full set of biologically relevant edit operations is intractable
摘要:
弧形注释序列可用于表示RNA的结构信息,并已广泛用于在序列和结构相似性方面比较RNA结构。在涉及弧注释序列和RNA结构比较的许多范例中(更多细节参见\cite{IGMA_BliDenDul08}),最重要的范例是通用编辑距离。在\cite{Evans99}中引入了计算两个非交叉弧注释序列之间的编辑距离的问题。引入的模型使用涉及单个字母或成对字母(从不单独考虑)的编辑操作,并且可以在多项式时间\cite{ZhangShasha:1989}中求解。为了解释其他可能的RNA结构进化事件,在\cite{jiangli}中引入了新的编辑操作,允许考虑一对中的两个或两个单独的字母;不幸的是,这是以计算易处理性为代价的。已经证明,使用一套完整的生物学相关编辑操作比较两个RNA二级结构是{ \sf \bf NP}-完全的。然而,在\cite{DBLP:conf/spire/GuignonCH05}中,作者使用了强组合限制,以比较两个RNA茎环与一套完整的生物学相关的编辑操作;这使他们能够设计一个多项式时间和空间算法,用于比较一般的二级RNA结构。在本文中,我们将从理论上证明,使用一套完整的生物相关的编辑操作来比较两个RNA结构,如果没有很强的组合限制,就无法完成。
英文摘要:
Arc-annotated sequences are useful for representing structural information of RNAs and have been extensively used for comparing RNA structures in both terms of sequence and structural similarities. Among the many paradigms referring to arc-annotated sequences and RNA structures comparison (see \cite{IGMA_BliDenDul08} for more details), the most important one is the general edit distance. The problem of computing an edit distance between two non-crossing arc-annotated sequences was introduced in \cite{Evans99}. The introduced model uses edit operations that involve either single letters or pairs of letters (never considered separately) and is solvable in polynomial-time \cite{ZhangShasha:1989}. To account for other possible RNA structural evolutionary events, new edit operations, allowing to consider either silmutaneously or separately letters of a pair were introduced in \cite{jiangli}; unfortunately at the cost of computational tractability. It has been proved that comparing two RNA secondary structures using a full set of biologically relevant edit operations is {\sf\bf NP}-complete. Nevertheless, in \cite{DBLP:conf/spire/GuignonCH05}, the authors have used a strong combinatorial restriction in order to compare two RNA stem-loops with a full set of biologically relevant edit operations; which have allowed them to design a polynomial-time and space algorithm for comparing general secondary RNA structures. In this paper we will prove theoretically that comparing two RNA structures using a full set of biologically relevant edit operations cannot be done without strong combinatorial restrictions.
