\section{Introduction} | ||
\label{sec:introduction} | ||
|
||
Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) are now an ubiquitous class of molecules, being | ||
found in every living organisms and having a broad range of functions, from catalyzing | ||
chemical reactions as the RNase P or the group II introns, | ||
hybridizing messenger RNA to regulate gene expression, | ||
to ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesizing proteins. | ||
Those functions require specific structures, | ||
encoded in their nucleotide sequence. Although the functions | ||
need to be preserved through various organisms, and therefore | ||
their structure must be similar, the sequences | ||
can greatly differ from one organism to another. | ||
For half a century, biological molecules have been studied as a proxy to understand | ||
evolution~\cite{Zuckerkandl1965}, and with all their characteristics, rRNAs have | ||
become a prime candidate for phylogenetic studies~\cite{Olsen1986, Olsen1993}. | ||
|
||
In recent years, studies as the \emph{Human Microbiome Project}~\cite{Turnbaugh2007}, | ||
leveraging the NGS techniques to sequence as many new organisms | ||
as possible, are producing a wealth of new information. Although | ||
those techniques have a huge throughput, they yield a sequencing error rate of around | ||
$4\%$~\cite{Huse2007}. This error can be highly reduced in genome projects when highly | ||
redundant consensus | ||
assemblies are available, but in studies of new or not well known organisms, there is not | ||
enough similarity to differentiate between the sequencing errors and the natural | ||
polymorphisms that we want to observe, often inflating the diversity estimates~\cite{Kunin2010}. | ||
In rRNAs, we have as additional | ||
information the conserved secondary structure, and we want to use it to identify | ||
highly probable sequencing errors. | ||
|
||
The first challenge is to efficiently explore the mutant space, which grows exponentially. | ||
Leveraging the techniques in \texttt{RNAmutants}~\cite{Waldispuhl2008}, we develop | ||
here |
