1) Choose genome & enzyme
Educational model (no wet-lab steps). Shows PAM matches, lets you pick a guide next to a PAM, then estimates cut-site and simple off-target risk within this toy genome only.
2) Sequence & PAM/guide picker

Off-target estimate (toy)
—
How it works: Scans for valid PAMs (e.g., NGG) in this toy genome, lets you pick an adjacent 20-nt guide, and marks the predicted cut (e.g., SpCas9 ~3 bp upstream of PAM on target strand). A simple seed-match heuristic estimates off-target risk within this toy sequence only.
Benefits: Students see how PAM rules gate what’s editable, why guide choice matters, and how off-targets arise. Great for AP/IB biology and STEAM demos—no wet lab required.

1) Select or paste a sequence (demo only)
Educational visualization of predicted secondary structure (helix/sheet/coil) using simple residue propensities; 3D shows a conceptual backbone with residues colored by class. No practical protocols are provided.

How it works: Secondary structure is estimated by residue-class propensities; 3D viewer draws a smooth backbone path with residue spheres colored by class (helix/sheet/coil). No downloadable protocols or models.
Benefits: Builds intuition that sequence influences structure and stability; engages students visually while remaining safe and non-actionable.

Explore by region & compounds
Respect for communities and biodiversity is central. Notes include access & benefit sharing (ABS) and consent reminders for any traditional knowledge (TK) stories.
How it works: Curated demo dataset: markers show plants; cards summarize region, traditional uses, known phytochemicals, references, and ethics notes (ABS/TK).
Benefits: Connects chemistry, culture, and conservation; equips students to discuss ethics alongside discovery.

How it works: Static, read-only network with curated connections and evidence levels. Helps students learn inference and evidence strength—no discovery pipeline or protocol details shown.
Benefits: Encourages critical appraisal of claims and triangulation of sources.
