RnaViz is a user-friendly, portable, windows-type program for producing publication-quality secondary structure drawings of RNA molecules. Drawings can be created starting from DCSE alignment files if they incorporate structure information or from mfold ct files. The layout of a structure can be changed easily. Display of special structural elements such as pseudo-knots or unformatted areas is possible. Sequences can be automatically numbered, and several other types of labels can be used to annotate particular bases or areas. Although the program does not try to produce an initially non-overlapping drawing, the layout of a properly positioned structure drawing can be applied to a newly created drawing using skeleton files. In this way a range of similar structures can be drawn with a minimum of effort. Skeletons for several types of RNA molecule are included with the program.
RnaViz是一个用户友好、可移植的Windows类型程序,用于生成具有出版质量的RNA分子二级结构绘图。如果DCSE比对文件包含结构信息,绘图可以从这些文件开始创建,也可以从mfold ct文件开始创建。结构的布局可以轻松更改。可以显示特殊的结构元件,如假结或未格式化区域。序列可以自动编号,还可以使用其他几种类型的标签来注释特定的碱基或区域。虽然该程序不会尝试生成初始时不重叠的绘图,但使用骨架文件可以将正确定位的结构绘图的布局应用于新创建的绘图。通过这种方式,可以轻松绘制一系列相似的结构。该程序包含了几种类型RNA分子的骨架。
