No need to juggle external tools. Explore genomes right in the app, and import genes and tracks directly back into your library.
Knowledge that stays
Shared lab inventory ensures protocols, plasmids, and primers remain accessible across generations of researchers.
Desktop & Cloud
Native performance on PC and Mac paired with browser access anywhere in the world.
Engineer DNA at the speed of your pipeline.
Standardize how your R&D team designs, builds, and verifies constructs. Automated cloning and primer design turn hours of manual curation into seconds, while centralized inventories and full version histories keep every design traceable from draft to production clone. Need custom enterprise deployment? We offer tailored on-site solutions.

Collaborations
Talent-CGT
Talent-CGT is a European initiative to train the next generation of cell and gene therapy specialists. It builds open digital tools and education modules that bring advanced therapy skills into classrooms and labs.
This project receives funding from the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union, under the Horizon Europe program.
PRIME-AI
PRIME-AI develops next-generation gene therapies by combining prime editing with artificial intelligence. The project creates smarter design tools, a new editing system, and a robust assay to make advanced therapies safer and more precise.
The collaboration project PRIME-AI is co-funded by PPP Subsidy awarded by Health~Holland, Top Sector Life Sciences & Health, to stimulate public-private partnerships.
IPCEI P-SMaRT
IPCEI P-SMaRT accelerates scalable manufacturing platforms for rare disease gene therapies. The project focuses on Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Diamond-Blackfan anemia to make advanced treatments more accessible.
This project has received funding under the Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) program.
