Summary: BioEditor is an application to enable scientists and educators to prepare and present structure annotations containing formatted text, graphics, sequence data, and interactive molecular views. It is intended to bridge the gap between printed journal articles and Internet presentation formats. BioEditor is relevant in the era of structural genomics, where annotation and publication could become the rate determining step in structure determination.
Availability: BioEditor is available at http://bioeditor.sdsc.edu. The Web site includes the latest version of the software for Microsoft Windows, including documentation, the opportunity to submit bug reports and suggestions, example documentaries prepared with BioEditor and a repository where users can submit documentaries for posting to the site.
