CGeNArateWeb: a web server for the atomistic study of the structure and dynamics of chromatin fibers

We present CGeNArateWeb, a new web tool for the three-dimensional simulation of naked DNA and protein-bound chromatin fibers. The server allows the user to obtain a dynamic representation of long segments of linear, circular, or protein–DNA segments thanks to a Langevin dynamics coarse-grained (CG)...
