a

For RNA motif contained multiple chains, the size (number of nucleotides) for each chain is separated by “+”.

b

The rank of the best prediction from the top five clusters.

c

Lowest all-heavy-atom root-mean-square deviation (in Å) for the best prediction from the top five clusters.

d

INF is the interaction network fidelity59 for all the canonical and noncanonical base-pairing and base-stacking interactions.

e

Since the original predictions of FARFAR are unavailable, the INFs for FARFAR are absent here.
