Browser-based viewer for Sanger sequencing chromatograms in AB1/ABIF and SCF format, and for the .srd raw files of the Nanofor-05 capillary sequencer, converted to ABIF as they open. Shows raw and analysed traces, base calls (called or edited), per-base quality and the full ABIF directory, and puts two reads side by side with their tag tables aligned. A read aligns against a pasted or loaded reference, which reports identity, mismatches, indels and the ends that did not align, and flips the strand when the read is on the other one. End trimming (modified Mott or sliding window) has draggable handles, motif search is IUPAC-aware and finds primers, and QC metrics copy out as CSV. Drag on a trace to select a base range, then copy it as FASTA, zoom to it or export just that region. Exports the read as FASTA, FASTQ, .qual or ABIF and the chromatogram as a high-resolution PNG. Open files are kept as local sessions. Runs entirely in the browser — files are never uploaded.

Conspecta is a browser-based research platform that brings microscopy image analysis, flow cytometry, molecular biology, sample tracking, and publication-ready figures into one connected workspace.

Built for imaging-heavy and flow-heavy biology labs, new PIs, and early-stage biotech. Research-focused, not regulated or clinical. Free for you and one collaborator, every workspace included. Paid plans open it to the whole lab and add additional storage, AI object detection, external integrations via API, and bring-your-own AI assistant integration.

Browser-based tool to open almost any file that carries sequence — FASTA, FASTQ, GenBank, EMBL, Swiss-Prot, AB1/ABIF, SCF, Clustal, Stockholm, PHYLIP, NEXUS, MSF, PIR, MEGA, GFF3, SAM, BAM, GFA, PDB and ACE — see every sequence inside, pick the ones you want, and save them as FASTA. The format is detected from the file content, not from the extension, so unlabelled or misnamed files still open, and gzip-compressed files are unpacked in place. Records can be filtered by length, name, GC or sequence type, reverse-complemented, transcribed DNA↔RNA or translated to protein, deduplicated and reordered before saving. Runs entirely in the browser — files are never uploaded.

Reactr is an modularized, Snakemake workflow for automated, species-agnostic characterization of gene families from sequence to experimental design. Given a query protein sequence and NCBI taxonomy IDs (or RefSeq assembly accessions), reactr retrieves genomic data and runs comprehensive analysis across 4 integrated tiers: (1) evolutionary analysis, including homolog detection, domain-based clustering, multiple sequence alignment, and phylogenetic inference; (2) synteny and selection analysis, detecting collinear blocks and calculating Ka/Ks ratios; (3) structural and regulatory characterization, including motif discovery, chromosomal mapping, biochemical property prediction, subcellular localization prediction, and promoter analysis; and (4) experimental design tools, generating PCR primers and scored CRISPR gRNAs for lab validation. Reactr bridges computational prediction and experimental validation, thus enabling rapid transition from genomic discovery to functional studies.

Browser-based viewer for GenBank and GenPept records — .gb, .gbk, .gbff, .gp and plain GenBank text. Renders an interactive linear and circular feature map, including circular plasmid maps, alongside the annotated source text and the nucleotide/protein sequence. Translates CDS features using the record's own genetic code and translation qualifiers, flags where the stored /translation disagrees with a plain translation, and adds optional computed layers: ORF prediction and restriction-site mapping. Drag a range in the sequence band to select it, then copy that stretch — either strand, as DNA or as protein, plain or FASTA. Filters features by type, handles multi-record files, and keeps open records as local sessions, so a closed tab can be picked up where it was left. Runs entirely in the browser — files are never uploaded.

Supernova is a software package for de novo assembly from Chromium Linked-Reads that are made from a single whole-genome library from an individual DNA source. A key feature of Supernova is that it creates diploid assemblies, thus separately representing maternal and paternal chromosomes over very long distances. Almost all other methods instead merge homologous chromosomes into single incorrect 'consensus' sequences. Supernova is the only practical method for creating diploid assemblies of large genomes.

Plant Compound Extractor is a desktop application that builds a ready-to-use, deduplicated library of 3D ligand structures for a given plant. It queries multiple natural-product and chemical databases (COCONUT, LOTUS, Wikidata, PubChem, PlantaeDB, USDA Dr. Duke's, KNApSAcK and IMPPAT) in parallel, resolves each compound against PubChem for a canonical structure, and falls back to direct source retrieval when needed. Retrieved structures are then converted to 3D using RDKit, with configurable conformer generation and physicochemical filters (molecular weight, rotatable bonds, ring size, etc.). It can also process a manually supplied compound list, or convert an existing folder of 2D structures to 3D.

Audio is processed in memory and not stored. Interface available in English, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish.

Gelyze is a web-based image analysis tool for agarose gel electrophoresis of nucleic acids. A user uploads a gel image, confirms the proposed lane positions and the ladder baseline, and a deterministic algorithm then estimates fragment size from ladder calibration and quantifies relative band intensity by densitometry. Measurement and interpretation are kept separate: the numbers come from the algorithm, and an assistive AI layer explains the resulting pattern in plain language without producing any of the values. For research use only.

FT-ITC Analysis is free, open-source desktop software for processing, fitting, and analysing isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) data. It imports raw data from MicroCal, TA Instruments/NanoAnalyze, and PEAQ ITC project files, as well as integrated heat data and FT-ITC project files. The software supports baseline correction, injection integration, interaction-model fitting, global analysis, uncertainty estimation, advanced thermodynamic analyses, and publication-figure export on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Browser-based viewer that maps sequencing reads onto one short reference — an amplicon, gene or plasmid. Reads open as Sanger AB1/ABIF, SCF, FASTA, FASTQ or a SAM somebody else already mapped (gzipped files are unpacked in place); the reference as FASTA, GenBank or a read. Both read orientations are tried automatically. The pileup reports per-position depth, where reads disagree with the target, and the consensus — phred-weighted for capillary reads, which keep their chromatogram under the letters. An optional protein lane translates target and consensus side by side. Reads are placed by minimap2 compiled to WebAssembly, or by the built-in aligner. One read or the whole alignment saves as FASTA. Runs entirely in the browser — files are never uploaded.
