Yet Another Scientific Artificial Reality Application (YASARA) is a computer program for molecular visualising, modelling, and dynamics. It has many scientific uses, as expressed by the large number of scientific articles mentioning the software.[http://www.yasara.org/papers.htm YASARA scientific papers] The free version of YASARA[http://www.yasara.org/viewdl/ YASARA-View] is well suited to bioinformatics education. A series of freely available bioinformatics courses exist that use this software.
