title: On a six-dimensional representation of RNA secondary structures.
abstract: In this paper, we proposed a 6-D representation of RNA secondary structures. The use of the 6-D representation is illustrated by constructing structure invariants. Comparisons with the similarity/dissimilarity results based on 6-D representation for a set of RNA secondary structures, are considered to illustrate the use of our structure invariants based on the entries in derived sequence matrices restricted to a selected width of a band along the main diagonal.
