Making DNA Screening Accessible
A web interface for commec, IBBIS's open-source DNA synthesis screening tool. Paste or upload a sequence and read the result without using the command line.
What It Does
A web front end for commec, for people who do not work on the command line.
Browser Workflow
Paste or upload a FASTA sequence and follow each screening step as it runs, with no command line.
Runs commec
The back end runs IBBIS's open-source Common Mechanism (commec) in a Docker container.
REST API
Submit, poll and download JSON or HTML reports through a FastAPI service with OpenAPI docs.
Readable Results
A PASS, FLAG or WARNING verdict with a sequence map and the regions behind it.
How It Works
A simple 3-step process to screen your sequences for biosecurity risks.
Upload Sequence
Paste a DNA or RNA sequence, or upload a FASTA file.
Automated Screening
