Workstreams

Workstream 1 — Unified annotation & validation workflow

Goal: integrate key annotation + validation steps into a reproducible workflow with consistent outputs and agreed case studies.

Workstream 2 — RNA prediction & non-Watson-Crick base pairs

Goal: clarify interoperable representations for Watson-Crick + non-Watson-Crick base pairs (2D + mmCIF mapping), and support benchmarking / case studies.

Repo structure (high level)
