PSEUDOVIEWER

PSEUDOVIEWER generates planar drawings of RNA pseudoknots to provide visual representations for analysis of known and hypothetical pseudoknot structures.


Key Features:

  • Automatic Visualization: Generates planar drawings of RNA pseudoknots automatically.
  • Planarity and Aesthetic Appeal: Represents pseudoknots as planar graphs without edge crossings to produce uniform, unambiguous diagrams.
  • Versatility in Visualization: Handles diverse types of known and hypothetical pseudoknot structures across RNA datasets.

Scientific Applications:

  • Bioinformatics Analysis: Provides visualizations to aid analysis and interpretation of complex RNA molecules' biological functions and interactions.

Methodology:

Uses a new representation and algorithm to handle RNA pseudoknots as planar graphs without edge crossings, implemented in Java for compatibility across computing systems.
