Title
YASARA - Yet Another Scientific Artificial Reality Application
Description
About us
YASARA is brought to you by YASARA Biosciences in close collaboration with the WHAT IF Foundation . Our final goal is to advance science by providing the community with the required research tools. WHAT IF and YASARA are aimed at becoming an all-in-one solution that takes the steps from protein sequence to structure to function to drug design, and is nevertheless powerful enough to handle the large amounts of data required by structural and functional genomics projects. Due to the enormous size of the problem, collaborations with other research groups are always welcome. We generally use scientific results instead of sales-departments to convince our customers. This approach saves a lot of money, which in turn allows us to offer the software for free or at realistic, non-fantasy prices (depending on the product), for academic as well as industrial environments. Any new methods used in our programs are published in peer-reviewed journals, so that you never have to rely on brochures instead of scientific facts. By obtaining software directly out of the research lab, you can be sure not to waste money on a program whose development essentially stopped five years ago - far too long in this rapidly evolving field.
Development of YASARA was started in 1993 by Elmar Krieger (on the left), together with his study of Molecular Biology at the University of Graz, Austria. In 1997, YASARA became the topic of his master's thesis, supervised by Prof. Günther Koraimann. In 2000, YASARA moved to the Center for Molecular and Biomolecular Informatics (CMBI) in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, where Elmar became PhD student of Prof. Gert Vriend (on the right). In 2002, Elmar founded YASARA Biosciences, a company located in Austria, with the aim to develop, distribute and support YASARA. Since 2003, WHAT IF and YASARA work closely together in the Twinset, providing you, the user, with over 40 man years of protein modeling expertise at the touch of a button.
Gert Vriend (on the right) started programming WHAT IF in 1987 as a PostDoc in Groningen, the Netherlands. In 1989, he moved to the EMBL in Heidelberg, joining the group of Chris Sander. From 1996 on, he led the 'Vriend group' and, together with his students, added an uncountable number of options to the program. Since 2000, he is 'Professor of Bioinformatics' and head of the Center for Molecular and Biomolecular Informatics (CMBI) in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Elmar Krieger (on the left) was his first PhD student there. The WHAT IF Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 1992, that uses revenues from WHAT IF sales to ensure further WHAT IF development and to support students.
