Source code development

The original visualization code was written by Dr. Stephen Chenney back in early 2011, for in-house use by the gtDMMB research group, in collaboration with Professor Christine Heitsch.

Considerable functionality and some very useful features, including the statistics analysis, were added by Georgia Tech students Anna Panlilio and Chris Mize under the direction of Dr. Shel Swenson over the course of the next two years. A snapshot of "version 1.0" as of Fall 2012 is still available.

Recently, GT Math PhD student Maxie D. Schmidt as her "Code goddess" alter ego took the program to a whole new level, with important contributions from GT ACO PhD student Anna Kirkpatrick.

Funding

Development of RNAStructViz over the years has been supported in part by three research grants to Christine Heitsch: a Career Award at the Scientific Interface from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund as well as NIH R01 GM083621 and NIH R01 GM126554 through the Joint DMS/NIGMS initiative.

Additional support during spring and summer 2019 was received from the Access Computing project at the University of Washington in Seattle. We thank them for their sponsorship!
