界面友好的RNA二级结构图绘制程序。可生成发表质量的二级结构图，可显示一些特殊结构。需要安装Tcl 8.3.2 / ClassyTk1.0.exe。

RnaViz is a user-friendly, portable, GUI program for producing publication-quality secondary structure drawings of RNA molecules. Drawings can be created starting from DCSE alignment files if they incorporate structure information or from mfold ct files. The layout of a structure can be changed easily. Display of special structural elements such as pseudo-knots or unformatted areas is possible. Sequences can be automatically numbered, and several other types of labels can be used to annotate particular bases or areas. Although the program does not try to produce an initially non-overlapping drawing, the layout of a properly positioned structure drawing can be applied to newly created drawing using skeleton files. In this way a range of similar structures can be drawn with a minimum of effort. Skeletons for several types of RNA molecule are included with the program.

Some of the features

• recognises ct, rnaml and DCSE alignment formats
• multiple structures on page
• simple but powerfull WYSIWYG editing using different selection modes
• skeletons to easily draw many structure using the same layout
• allows display of pseudoknots
• free choice of fonts, colors, linewidths for any object
• graphica objects for annotation (rectangle, oval, lines, text)
• linking of graphics, text to certain bases
• tag based changing of properties
• automatic sequence numbering
• zoom
• independend scaling of structure drawings
• portable
