CellPAINT: Interactive Illustration of Dynamic Mesoscale Cellular Environments

IEEE Comput Graph Appl. 2018 Nov-Dec;38(6):51-66. doi: 10.1109/MCG.2018.2877076.

Abstract

CellPAINT allows nonexpert users to create interactive mesoscale illustrations that integrate a variety of biological data. Like popular digital painting software, scenes are created using a palette of molecular "brushes." The current release allows creation of animated scenes with an HIV virion, blood plasma, and a simplified T-cell.
