RNA2DMap

RNA2DMap visualizes RNA secondary structures and maps multiple structural features—including three-dimensional distances, tertiary interactions, conservation values, motifs, basepair groups, basepair conformations, and coaxial stacks—to support comparative and functional analysis of RNA higher-order structure.


Key Features:

  • Interactive visualization: Provides interactive visualization of RNA secondary structures for exploration of structural annotations.
  • Multi-dimensional information display: Displays multiple structural dimensions including three-dimensional distances, tertiary interactions, conservation values, motifs, basepair groups, basepair conformations, and coaxial stacks.
  • Comparative analysis: Facilitates comparative analysis of RNA structures to identify patterns and relationships not evident in textual or standard graphical outputs.

Scientific Applications:

  • Structural analysis: Enables analysis of RNA higher-order structural features and their functional implications.
  • Pattern identification: Identifies patterns and relationships within RNA structures, including conserved motifs and basepair conformations.
  • Comparative studies: Supports comparative analyses across RNA molecules to assess evolutionary conservation and functional similarity or divergence.

Methodology:

Leverages interactive secondary-structure models to map and display specified structural features (three-dimensional distances, tertiary interactions, conservation values, motifs, basepair groups, basepair conformations, coaxial stacks).
