The pairwise comparison of RNA secondary structures is a fundamental problem, with direct application in mining databases for\r\nannotating putative noncoding RNA candidates in newly sequenced genomes. An increasing number of software tools are available\r\nfor comparing RNA secondary structures, based on different models (such as ordered trees or forests, arc annotated sequences,\r\nand multilevel trees) and computational principles (edit distance, alignment). We describe here the website BRASERO that offers\r\ntools for evaluating such software tools on real and synthetic datasets.
