Abstract

Grow and graft genetic programming (GGGP) evolves more than 50000 parameters in a state-of-the-art C program to make functional source code changes which give more accurate predictions of how RNA molecules fold up. Genetic improvement updates 29% of the dynamic programming free energy model parameters. In most cases (50.3%) GI gives better results on 4655 known secondary structures from RNA_STRAND (29.0% are worse and 20.7% are unchanged). Indeed it also does better than parameters recommended by Andronescu, M., et al.: Bioinformatics 23(13) (2007) i19–i28.
