New features added to this release

New features added to this release include the following:

  1. Updated the default folder naming procedures so we no longer rely on the file names being in the same (previously expected) format as those in our sample CT files folder.
  2. New labeling of the 5'/3' strand start/end positions with arrows indicating position (as in standard biology contexts) added to the program. See the original feature request (issue #18) and the implementation result in the screenshot below.
  3. Tick marks and base pair labels indicating relative positions of base pair index numbers from the CT file specs are now drawn around the Diagram Window arc diagrams (see screenshot below). See the discussion for this feature request here (issue #27).
  4. Clicking <CTRL+G> after selecting a zoom area in the Diagram Window will now take the user to the relevant position in the open CT viewer window (if one for that structure is already open). See the feature request here (issue #28).
  5. Beta testing a radial layout viewer.

Install notes

For a complete list of installation procedures on all of our supported platforms, please see the documentation on our project WIKI site.

Mac-specific install notes

On a Mac, the instructions typical for a Homebrew install are as follows:

# -- New brew install from source (compiler=gcc): --
$ brew install --build-from-source gtDMMB/core/RNAStructViz
# -- OR New brew install from source (compiler=clang++): --
$ brew install --with-clang --build-from-source gtDMMB/core/RNAStructViz
# -- OR to install a binary bottle (if one is available): --
$ brew install gtDMMB/core/RNAStructViz

Optional installation procedure (help us to maintain binaries for more Mac platform releases!)

If you would like to do us one better, and prepare a binary bottle of the application which other users can install directly, please send the output of the last command to the developers:

$ brew install --build-bottle gtDMMB/core/RNAStructViz
$ brew bottle gtDMMB/core/RNAStructViz
