Program announcement: Nautilus v0.2


From: Kevin Cowtan
Date: 26 October 2011 13:53


New version of Nautilus (my nucleic acid building program).

Main changes:
 - Now available for both OSX(x86) and Linux.
 - It no longer corrupts the residue names of any existing non-nucleic acid model you feed in.
 - Most cases where the output model clashes with itself have been fixed.
 - I've done some (fairly conservative) optimisations. It's now very fast. Very, very fast. Faster than something quite fast moving not entirely slowly.

It is available from here:

..

'Nautilus' is a program for automatic model building of nucleotide
structures in electron density maps. It will trace a map with no model,
extend an existing model, or add nucleotide chains to an existing
non-nucleotide model.

'nautilus' does not currently perform refinement - you will need to
refine and recycle for further model building yourself. Neither does
it assign sequence - the model is built as ploy-U.

This is an alpha release. It may not work at all. It has only
been tested on synthetic data with simulated errors.
The API will change significantly in subsequent releases.
