From graph candidates to validated RNA motifs
These examples show what users can retrieve with RNAdex and where atomic-coordinate validation is still required. Candidate counts are always kept separate from confirmed representatives.
Three motif workflows
Sarcin-ricin motif
A formal seven-nucleotide interaction graph projected into RNAdex, then validated from atomic coordinates with official FR3D interaction and geometric criteria.

A four-nucleotide hairpin sequence search followed by graph and official FR3D interaction and geometric validation.

How to read these examples
Candidate retrieval
RNAdex stores nucleotide graphs with backbone, Watson-Crick, and generic non-Watson-Crick edges. These features efficiently narrow the structural search space.
Coordinate validation
A generic graph edge does not preserve every interaction family or geometric detail. Each named-motif page therefore states its separate acceptance rule and validation evidence.
