Benchmark test results for 3D structure prediction by IsRNA1, SimRNA, and iFoldRNA for 130 relatively large RNAs (40-161 nts) with native 2D structures as constraints. Average/median (in boldface) structural quality assessments in terms of RMSD, INFall, and clash score are shown. The results are classified according to the structural topologies for the top-1 prediction and the best of the top-3 predictions (if available). The numbers of the test cases are given in parentheses. The prediction results for iFoldRNA and SimRNA were collected from iFoldRNAv2 webserver (https://dokhlab.med.psu.edu/ifoldrna/#/) and SimRNA program provided by authors (https://ftp.users.genesilico.pl/software/simrna/) using default parameters, respectively. RMSDs were calculated over all-heavy atoms. INFall is the Interaction Network Fidelity for all the canonical and non-canonical base-pairing and base-stacking interactions.
