The paper develops a computational model for Zika virus sequence and secondary structure analysis using VADR, achieving high validation accuracy and extending the tool to generate structural diagrams and submit new RNA elements.

The paper describes methods for automated viral ncRNA annotation and programmatic access to Rfam data via its API, enabling integration into bioinformatics workflows.

R2DT is a software platform for visualizing RNA secondary structures with enhanced features like SNP display and template-free visualization.

The paper develops and validates 12 new VADR models for human respiratory viruses, achieving high accuracy in genome annotation and identifying novel viral biology.

Rfam 15.0 expands coverage to 26,106 genomes, improves RNA family annotations with 3D structures, and synchronizes with miRBase, enhancing RNA research and machine learning applications.

This study characterizes the genome and single-cell transcriptome of Hydractinia, revealing that its stem cells use a conserved gene toolkit shared with all animals.

The paper introduces VADR, a standalone tool for validating and annotating influenza sequences, showing consistent results with FLAN and extending its capabilities to new subtypes.

The paper updates VADR to rapidly and accurately annotate SARS-CoV-2 sequences, improving speed and memory efficiency for GenBank.

Ribovore improves GenBank processing of rRNA sequences by validating and classifying them using profile-based methods and HMMs.

R2DT generates standardised 2D RNA structure diagrams for diverse ncRNA types using a template library, producing a large dataset of visualisations.

VADR validates and annotates viral sequences submitted to GenBank, improving submission speed and annotation quality by using curated RefSeq models and providing deterministic alerts.
