RNA Movies -- sequential animation of RNA secondary structures
What you can do:
A system for the visualization of RNA secondary structure spaces.
Highlights:
- RNA Movies is a simple, yet powerful visualization tool in likeness to a media player application, which enables to browse sequential paths through RNA secondary structure landscapes.
- It can be used to visualize structural rearrangement processes of RNA, such as folding pathways and conformational switches, or to browse lists of alternative structure candidates.
- Besides extending the feature set, retaining and improving usability and availability in the web is the main aim of this new version.
- RNA Movies now supports the DCSE and RNAStructML input formats besides its own RNM format.
- Pseudoknots and 'entangled helices' can be superimposed on the RNA secondary structure layout.
- Publication quality output is provided through the Scalable Vector Graphics output format understood by most current drawing programs.
- The software has been completely re-implemented in Java to enable pure client-side operation as applet and web-start application available at the Bielefeld Bioinformatics Server.
