Introduction

The RGB virus model is a model that displays the effect of administering different drugs to the virus. Each type of drug corresponds to a color: Red, Green, or Blue. By observing the color, we can easily understand the overall effect of the drugs on the virus.

For more detailed information, please refer to the publication: "Multiplexed Multicolor Antiviral Assay Amenable for High-Throughput Research" by Li et al., published in Nature Communications in 2023.

Installation

The software does not need to be installed. However, users should spend time installing Matlab (License required) or Matlab Runtime Environment (Free solution) if they are not already installed on the computer. The installation time for Matlab or Matlab Runtime is approximately 20-30 minutes.

1. Requirement

Option 1: Windows or MacOS with Matlab 2017b or a later version installed. (Matlab License is required)

Option 2: Windows with Matlab Runtime installed. Please download the Matlab Runtime 2017b 9.3 (free solution).

2. For Windows or MacOS users with Matlab installed (Matlab license required).

  1. Download the source code (.m file) and unzip the file.
  2. Add the path of the source code to your Matlab path. Use the command addpath("the directory of source code") in the Matlab command window.
  3. Execute the toolbox by using the command "UI_color3D" in the Matlab command window.
