DSSR 2.0 is out. It integrates an unprecedented set of features into one computational tool, including analysis/annotation, schematic visualization, and model building of 3D nucleic acid structures. DSSR 2.0 supersedes 3DNA 2.4, which is still maintained but no additional features other than bug fixes are scheduled. See the
DSSR 2.0 overview PDF.
DSSR delivers a great user experience by solving problems and saving time. Considering its usability, interoperability, features, and support, DSSR easily stands out among 'competitors'. It exemplifies a 'solid software product'. I strive to make DSSR a pragmatic tool that the structural bioinformatics community can count on.
DSSR 2.0 is
licensed by Columbia University. The software remains free for academic users, with the
basic user manual. The
professional user manual (over 230 pages, including 7 appendices) is available for paid academic users or commercial users only. Licensing revenue helps ensure the long-term sustainability of the DSSR project.
Additionally, the paper "DSSR-enabled innovative schematics of 3D nucleic acid structures with PyMOL" has recently been published in
Nucleic Acids Research, 48(13):e74. Check the
web interface.
The DSSR-PyMOL paper/website has been rated "very good" and classified as "Good for Teaching". See Vicens Q: Faculty Opinions Recommendation of [Lu XJ, Nucleic Acids Res 2020 48(13):e74]. In
Faculty Opinions, 14 Aug 2020; 10.3410/f.738001682.793577327.
