LAB's Studio
2025
Professional bioinformatics desktop application for DNA and protein sequence alignment using Needleman-Wunsch, Smith-Waterman, and Progressive Multiple Alignment algorithms with real-time visualization and analysis.
About this project
LAB's Studio is a comprehensive bioinformatics alignment platform built with Electron for cross-platform compatibility. It features advanced sequence alignment algorithms including Needleman-Wunsch for global alignment, Smith-Waterman for local alignment, and Progressive Multiple Alignment for analyzing 3-10 sequences simultaneously. The application provides real-time visualization with guide trees, distance matrices, profile analysis, and heatmaps. Built with a modern scientific UI/UX design, it supports both DNA and protein sequences with BLOSUM62 scoring matrix integration.
