Tree polynomials identify a link between co-transcriptional R-loops and nascent RNA folding

P Liu, J Lusk, N Jonoska… - PLOS Computational …, 2024 - journals.plos.org
R-loops are a class of non-canonical nucleic acid structures that typically form during
transcription when the nascent RNA hybridizes the DNA template strand, leaving the non …

Ranking trees based on global centrality measures

A Barghi, D DeFord - Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2024 - Elsevier
Trees, or connected graphs with no cycles, are a commonly studied combinatorial family.
