Browser-native genomics

Explore genomes.
Nothing to install.

AriaDNA opens sequences, alignments, phylogenetic trees, distance matrices, Sanger traces and variant files — entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your machine.

The toolkit

One workspace, multiple viewers.

Open as many files as you like in parallel tabs — a tree here, a matrix there, a genome alongside. Every viewer shares the same layout: a toolbar, the canvas, and a collapsible side panel.

01

Sequence viewer

FASTA GenBank genome

Pan and zoom across whole genomes, from the contig overview down to a single base.

  • Color-coded A/T/G/C with live amino-acid translation
  • GenBank feature tracks, GC content and ORF detection
  • Multi-FASTA contig switching and motif search
  • Export FASTA selections or GFF3 features

02

Multiple sequence alignment

MSA conservation consensus

Inspect alignments with color-coded columns and per-column conservation at a glance.

  • Smooth scrolling across thousands of columns
  • Conservation bar and consensus row
  • Zoom from overview to single residue
  • Gaps and mismatches shown distinctly

Phylogenetic tree

phylogenetics MLST clustering

Build a tree from a distance matrix, or load a Newick tree — with iTOL-style rendering.

  • Neighbor-Joining, UPGMA, MST (Kruskal/Prim) and GoeBURST
  • Rectangular, circular and force layouts
  • Color tips by metadata, with legend and a distance scale bar
  • Annotate clades and export the figure

Distance & allelic matrix

heatmap table presence/absence

View a matrix three ways — sortable table, color heatmap, or presence/absence.

  • Switchable colorscales and cell sizing
  • Sort and filter rows, reorder columns
  • Threshold-based presence/absence view
  • Export a publication-ready PNG

Sanger chromatogram

AB1 trace base calls

Open AB1 traces, inspect the four-channel chromatogram, and correct base calls.

  • Four dye channels with quality scores
  • Click a base and retype to fix a miscall
  • Zoom into noisy regions and low-quality tails
  • Export the corrected read as FASTA

VCF, SAM/BAM & BLAST

variants reads BLAST

Triage variants, inspect read pileups, and browse BLAST hits — all in the browser.

  • VCF variants with type and quality filters
  • SAM/BAM read pileups and coverage
  • BLAST tabular / XML / JSON hits
  • Sort by identity and e-value

Why it feels different

Built for speed, privacy and flow.

Runs in your browser

Parsing and rendering happen client-side with Web Workers and canvas. No server round-trips, no waiting on uploads.

Private by design

Your files stay on your device. Anonymous sessions live only in your browser and clear when you close the app.

Multi-document tabs

Keep a tree, a matrix and a genome open at once. Switch instantly between every open document from one shared tab bar.

Survives a refresh

Your open workspace is restored after an accidental reload, with sensible limits so storage never bloats.

Search, filter, export

Find motifs in sequences, filter variants and matrix rows, and export FASTA, GFF3, TSV or PNG straight from each viewer.

Consistent & learnable

Every viewer follows the same toolbar · canvas · side-panel layout, so the second tool feels familiar the moment you open it.

Quick start

From file to figure in three steps.

Pick a tool

Open the app and choose Sequence, Tree, Matrix or Sanger from the home screen — or drag a file straight in.

Open your file

Select a local file. AriaDNA detects the format, parses it in the background and opens it in a new tab.

Explore & export

Zoom, search, recolor and annotate. When it looks right, export a figure or a cleaned-up data file.

● No account needed

Open your first genome now.

AriaDNA launches instantly in your browser. Bring a FASTA, a Newick tree or a distance matrix and start exploring.
