Core features overview

We provide the following links to documentation on the core features of this application:

  1. RNA secondary structure visualization. Generate arc diagrams comparing up to three secondary structures using color and transparency. Also includes an export tool allowing generated images to be saved in PNG image format.
  2. Statistics comparing multiple predicted structures. Given a reference structure, compare multiple predictions on the same sequence by calculating statistics including number of true positives, false positives, false negatives, sensitivity, selectivity, and positive predictive values. Also generates ROC plots and allows exporting of computed statistics in CSV file format.
  3. Full CT file viewer with highlighing. View CT files, with color coding, without leaving RNAStructViz.
  4. Limited radial layout viewer. View a selected section of the radial layout diagram for a structure.
  5. Customization options and UI themes. Fine tune many aspects of the RNAStructViz user interface. Users with accessibility needs can modify most of the colors used in the application, including the primary widget color choices in the UI.
