Table Based Parsing for RNA

Formal grammars have been used extensively in the analysis and design of programming languages and compilers. This paper gives a brief introduction to the application of stochastic context free grammars (SCFGs) to model RNA. Then it briefly presents the parsing algorithm for RNA. Next it introduces the bottom-up LR parsing algorithm. Finally it proposes a table-based parsing algorithm for RNA. The proposed algorithm is an extension of the LR parsing algorithm.
