A new bioinformatics tool: RiboVision2

Co-I Anton Petrov, PI Loren Williams, and students published RiboVision2, an open-source tool for understanding RNA structure and evolution. RiboVision2 is a web server designed to visualize the phylogenetic, structural, and evolutionary properties of ribosomal RNAs, simultaneously, at the levels of primary, secondary, and three-dimensional structure and in the context of full ribosomal complexes. RiboVision2 instantly computes and displays a broad variety of RNA data in the main user interface; enables saving of RNA visualizations as publication-quality images; supports visualization of any RNA molecule; and represents a major upgrade of the original RiboVision. It has no login requirements, is free for all users, and is available at https://ribovision2.chemistry.gatech.edu.

The user interface of RiboVision2, showing the navigation panel and visualization panel. The visualization panel contains i) an interactive multiple sequence alignment (MSAViewer), ii) a 2D RNA Viewer with options to display preloaded or user-uploaded features on RNA secondary structures, and iii) 3D MOL* Viewers.
