| Description: | Nanobase collects the design files for a variety of nanostructures and stores them in a community database to facilitate the sharing of design principles to bring the community closer in collaboration and our designs to greater levels of modularity and function. This effort comprises not only repository for DNA, RNA and DNA/RNA-protein hybrid nanostructures, but also a supporting ecosystem of tools to edit and characterize the structures. |

Nanobase.org: a repository for DNA and RNA nanostructures. [PMID: 34747480]
We introduce a new online database of nucleic acid nanostructures for the field of DNA and RNA nanotechnology. The database implements an upload interface, searching and database browsing. Each deposited nanostructures includes an image of the nanostructure, design file, an optional 3D view, and additional metadata such as experimental data, protocol or literature reference. The database accepts nanostructures in any preferred format used by the uploader for the nanostructure design. We further provide a set of conversion tools that encourage design file conversion into common formats (oxDNA and PDB) that can be used for setting up simulations, interactive editing or 3D visualization. The aim of the repository is to provide to the DNA/RNA nanotechnology community a resource for sharing their designs for further reuse in other systems and also to function as an archive of the designs that have been achieved in the field so far. Nanobase.org is available at https://nanobase.org/. |
