The international conference More Than Pretty Pictures – the Aesthetics of Data Representation held 13-16 April 2015 is now open for submission of papers. The call closes on 6 December 2014.

In connection with our paper "A single-stranded architecture for cotranscriptional folding of RNA nanostructures" published in Science, we have made our scripts available at our website. The scripts were used to design the single-stranded RNA origami structures presented in the paper.
