Interested in creating 3D RNA structures from limited experimental data? Want to generate an ensemble of physically plausible RNA structures? At Simbios’ 3D RNA Modeling workshop, we will present new tools - NAST and RNABuilder - that generate structures and dynamical trajectories based on your own hypotheses, limited experimental information, and/or initial coordinates. These molecular modeling tools are designed to be easily applied by experimentalists to problems of current biological interest, and you will have the opportunity to apply these tools to your own data during the workshop.

The workshop is targeted towards those who work with RNA biology and have an interest in creating 3D models that may assist them in understanding the function or dynamics of their favorite RNA model.
