A Software Package for the Analysis, Rebuilding, and Visualization of Three-dimensional Nucleic Acid Structures
Xiang-Jun Lu & Wilma K. Olson

3DNA was created in the hope that it will be useful, but without any guarantees. Nothing is perfect, and we strive to improve its functionalities. Any comments, constructive suggestions, and bug reports are welcome.

Links to other useful software

A quick Google search finds many outside links to the 3DNA home page. The list given below points to some of the resources that we have found most useful in our own work.

Nucleic Acid Database (and PDB), where base-pair parameters and the schematic base block images are generated with 3DNA
Curves, a well-known program, with unique features for analyzing nucleic acid structures
RasMol, an easy-to-use, very popular molecular display program
MolScript, a useful program for creating schematic or detailed molecular graphics images, especially for proteins
Raster3D, a program that generates photo realistic molecular graphic images
The RNA World Website at IMB Jena, where there is a repository of nucleic acid structures
From 3D structure to 1D base sequence and the analysis of microarray experiments: I am currently working on bioinformatics!
