Accurate secondary structures are important for understanding ribosomes, which are
extremely large and highly complex. Using 3D structures of ribosomes as input, we have …

A few years before I started my graduate studies, Carl Woese was establishing a
collaboration with his friend, colleague, and my PhD advisor, Harry Noller. Carl was …

RNA visualization is crucial in order to understand the relationship that exists between RNA
structure and its function, as well as the development of better RNA structure prediction …

Previously, we have introduced an improved version of jViz. RNA which enabled faster and
more stable RNA visualization by employing compressed tree graphs. However, the new …

RNA structural motifs can be identified using methods that analyze base–base interactions
and the conformation of a structure's backbone; however, these approaches do not …

Background RNA visualization software tools have traditionally presented a static
visualization of RNA molecules with limited ability for users to interact with the resulting …

Biologists are stepping up their efforts in understanding the biological processes that
underlie disease pathways in the clinical contexts. This has resulted in a flood of biological …

Genomic sequencing has become ubiquitous within the discipline of Biology. Here I use two
case studies in which whole genomic DNA facilitates answers to foundational biological …
