Assemble: An interactive graphical tool to analyze and build RNA architectures at the 2D and 3D levels

Abstract

Summary: Assemble is an intuitive graphical interface to analyze, manipulate and build complex 3D RNA architectures. It provides several advanced and unique features within the framework of a semi-automated modeling process that can be performed by homology and ab initio with or without electron density maps. Those include the interactive editing of a secondary structure and a searchable, embedded library of annotated tertiary structures. Assemble helps users with performing recurrent and otherwise tedious tasks in structural RNA research. © The Author(s) 2010. Published by Oxford University Press.
