Interactive Simulations

Watch a DNA sequence get transcribed into mRNA and translated into a protein chain. Adjust codons and see how mutations change the output in real time.

Decompose a DNA sequence into k-mers and visualize their frequency distribution. Explore how k-mer size affects genome assembly and sequence comparison.

Step through Needleman-Wunsch and Smith-Waterman algorithms cell by cell. Adjust gap penalties and substitution matrices to see how alignment scores change.

Build phylogenetic trees from sequence data using distance-based methods. Compare neighbor-joining and UPGMA, and explore how distance metrics affect tree topology.

Explore protein structures in 3D. Toggle between cartoon, ball-and-stick, and surface representations. Color by secondary structure, residue type, or B-factor.

Draw or load small molecules, compute descriptors, and compare fingerprint similarity. Learn how cheminformatics methods underpin drug discovery pipelines.

Simulate experiments and watch p-value distributions form. Explore the effects of sample size, effect size, and multiple testing on statistical significance.

Apply PCA, t-SNE, and UMAP to biological datasets. Adjust hyperparameters and see how clusters form, split, and merge in real time.

Dissect bioinformatics file formats byte by byte. Learn how headers, sequences, and quality scores are structured, and validate files against the specification.

Visualize GPU compute patterns for bioinformatics workloads. Compare CPU vs. GPU execution for k-mer counting, pairwise alignment, and matrix operations.
