AbstractRNA-Puzzles is a collective endeavor dedicated to the advancement and improvement of RNA three-dimensional structure prediction. With agreement from structural biologists, RNA structures are predicted by modeling groups before publication of the experimental structures. We report a large-scale set of predictions by 18 groups for 23 RNA-Puzzles: 4 RNA elements, 2 Aptamers, 4 Viral elements, 5 Ribozymes and 8 Riboswitches.

Overview of the global data on genome size for taxonomic groups Among angiosperms and gymnosperms with available monoploid genome size data (i.e. genome size of one unreplicated chromosome set), the percentages of invasive species were similar, but gymnosperms had a higher percentage of naturalized species than angiosperms (Table ; Fig. 1).

AbstractWhile the regional distribution of non-native species is increasingly well documented for some taxa, global analyses of non-native species in local assemblages are still missing. Here, we use a worldwide collection of assemblages from five taxa - ants, birds, mammals, spiders and vascular plants - to assess whether the incidence, frequency and proportions of naturalised non-native species depend on type and intensity of land use.
