Recently, we described a Maximum Weighted Matching (MWM) method for RNA structure prediction. The MWM method is capable of detecting pseudoknots and other tertiary base-pairing interactions in a computationally efficient manner (Cary and Stormo, Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology, pp. 75-80, 1995). Here we report on the results of our efforts to improve the MWM method's predictive accuracy, and show how the method can be extended to detect base interactions formerly inaccessible to automated RNA modeling techniques.
