The RNA 3D Motif Sequence Variability Server (R3DSVS) maps the given nucleotides to columns of a multiple sequence alignment and returns sequence variants in a variety of formats. This makes it possible to see how the sequence of a 3D motif varies across many species, including ones for which we do not have a 3D structure. R3DSVS can be used to study the sequence variability of individual nucleotides, base paired nucleotides, or small motifs.
This site is under construction as of September 2024, but seems to be working well.
Example 1
Watson-Crick-Franklin basepair from the spliceosome. Only the unique sequences will be shown. They are usually U*A but sometimes U*U.

Example 2
E. coli has GC basepair, other bacteria have AU or UA or CG.

In addition to R3D SVS, several other APIs are available, where one can input unit ids or loop ids or chain ids and get back useful information. RNA APIs
