TL;DR
The standard 'Sequence Logo' method is extended to incorporate prior frequencies on the bases, allow for gaps in the alignments, and indicate the mutual information of base-paired regions in RNA.

From these 'sequence logos', one can determine not only the consensus sequence but also the relative frequency of bases and the information content at every position in a site or sequence.

It is demonstrated that at least one of the ligands inhibits cDNA synthesis by HIV reverse transcriptase but fails to inhibit other reverse transcriptases, highlighting the power of SELEX to yield highly specific ligands that reduce the activity of target proteins.

A method for identifying consensus patterns in a set of unaligned DNA sequences known to bind a common protein or to have some other common biochemical function is developed, based on a matrix representation of binding site patterns.

Developing more rigorous comparative analysis protocols on tRNA, 16S and 23S rRNA are substantiating previously proposed associations and are now beginning to reveal additional constraints on these molecules.

A computational scheme to locally align a collection of RNA sequences using sequence and structure constraints and has similarities to both CLUSTAL and CONSENSUS, but the core algorithm assures that the pairwise alignments are optimized for both sequence andructure conservation.
Journal of Molecular BiologySelection of high affinity RNA ligands to the bacteriophage R17 coat protein
137 Citations1992Dan Schneider, Craig Tuerk +1 more
RNA ligands with high affinity for the bacteriophage R17 coat protein were isolated from a pool of random RNA molecules using SELEX and found to contain a hairpin very similar to the naturally occurring coat protein binding site in the R17 genome.

The results show that the stem-loop structures in the pseudoknots are both thermodynamically highly stable and statistically significant relative to other such configurations that potentially occur in the gag-pool or gag-pro and pro-pol junction domains of these viruses.

The method uses a simplified version of the Sankoff algorithm for simultaneous folding and alignment of RNA sequences, but maintains tractability by constructing multi-sequence alignments from pairwise comparisons.
