Resources for oxDNA

Here we provide a list of publicly available external resources that have been developed to help use oxDNA

• The oxDNA and oxDNA2 models have been implemented in LAMMPS in the USER-CGDNA package. This was developed by Oliver Henrich (with the help of Tom E. Ouldridge, F. Romano and L. Rovigatti). The package documentation can be found here. The code comes with any regular download from the central LAMMPS repository, and it is also available here. Accompanying paper: Eur. Phys. J. E; arXiv

• The tacoxDNA suite of tools allows the conversion of configurations to and from the oxDNA format. These can be used at the tacoxDNA webserver and the underlying python codes are available here. Accopanying paper: J. Comput. Chem.

• webDNA: a web front-end for oxDNA produced by the group of Matthew Patitz at University of Arkansa is available here

• oxView: a browser-based viewer from the Šulc group is available here. It is specifically designed for oxDNA, and allows manipulation as well as viewing of structures. Accompanying paper: Nucleic Acids Res., bioRxiv

• The Šulc group's oxDNA analysis tools: https://github.com/sulcgroup/oxdna_analysis_tools . Accompanying paper: Nucleic Acids Res., bioRxiv

• magicDNA: A design tool for complex origamis that uses oxDNA to aid iterative design is available here. Accompanying paper: Nat. Mater. bioRxiv

• oxDNA.org: This server is run by the Šulc group and allows users to run oxDNA simulations of large DNA nanostructures on GPUs. Accompanying paper: Nucleic Acids Res.

• An extension of the oxDNA/RNA models that allows proteins to be represented using an anisotropic network model has been developed by the Šulc group. The code and documentation are available here. Acccompanying paper: Soft Matter

• nanobase.org: A database of DNA and RNA nanotechnology designs with an emphasis on the oxDNA format and with visualization with oxView.

or produce output in oxDNA format

• multi-resolution DNA (mrDNA). This programme from the Aksimentiev group can simulate DNA nanostructures at multiple coarser levels of detail than oxDNA. It can output in oxDNA format. A tutorial can be found here and the repository for the code here. Accompanying paper: Nucleic Acids Res.; bioRxiv

• Adenita The paper introducing this design tool is available from Nucleic Acids Res.,bioRxiv.

• ENSnano A preprint introducing this tool is available here
