RNA Binding Site App

During my graduate studies I found that I was often performing time consuming manual work to search through RNA sequences to find locations where the RNA sequence could bind to itself. A core part of this work was dealing with mismatches of 1-2 base pairs that do not prevent the RNA-RNA binding interaction from occurring.

Rather than performing many hours of tedious manual work, I recognized that software could be developed to solve this problem. I collaborated with a developer to create a web app that generates the possible sequences that could bind with the sequence of interest while accounting for possible base pairing errors.

My responsibilities on the project included:

• Conducting research and user interviews with other perspective users
• Designing the feature set of the application
• Testing the application to ensure that all features worked as expected
• Training and supporting other users of the application
