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.[1] The free version of YASARA[2] is well suited to bioinformatics education. A series of freely available bioinformatics courses exist that use this software.

See the Center for Molecular and Biomolecular Informatics (CMBI) education pages for a series of examples.[3]
