💡 At a joint press conference, the #SNSF and its ERI partners called on the Federal Council to abandon the planned cuts to #education, #research and #innovation in the "relief package 27", as they would have far-reaching consequences for the #economy and society. ➡️ https://buff.ly/3CTR2AM

Conclusion of RNA assessors in #CASP16 - we are still in the “template” phase. Prediction of nucleic acids structure is still challenging for targets without templates, often relying on intuition. No big leap in accuracy since CASP15. AI based methods have not (yet?) made a major difference.
