COMMENTS

A BiSecondary Structure(BSS) is a RNA graph that can be drawn without crossings using at most two halfplanes. The numbers displayed here were obtained by first generating all secondary structures of a given size and then by carefully counting possible completions on the second halfplane. Keep in mind that the simple shuffling of two secondary structures would yield many isomorphic RNA graphs.

EXAMPLE

Encoding the secondary structure on the first halfplane with '()', on the 2nd with '[]' and unpaired bases with '-'. For n=4, bss(n)=5:

.... (.). (..) .(.) ([)]

Notice that '[(])' must not be counted, as it is isomorphic to '([)]'.
