iPhone
Assemble and analyze whole bacterial genomes entirely on your iPhone — no cloud, no upload. A full molecular-biology bench in your pocket.
Bio-Scry turns your iPhone into a complete, offline genomics and molecular-biology
workstation. Everything runs on the device — your sequences never leave your phone, and
you don't need an internet connection, an account, or a server.
ASSEMBLE A GENOME, ON DEVICE
• Long-read, short-read, and hybrid de-novo assembly
• Reference-guided consensus and variant calling with amino-acid effects
• Scaffold your contigs against a reference genome
• A one-tap "Try a sample" that assembles a bundled E. coli genome so you can see it work
immediately
A NOVEL ON-DEVICE ASSEMBLER
Bio-Scry includes a first-of-its-kind neural-field assembler: instead of a classic graph,
it fits the genome as the weights of a coordinate→base neural network, GPU-accelerated
entirely on your device, and emits contigs plus a repeat graph. It's a genuinely new
method — and it runs in your pocket.
A FULL SEQUENCE BENCH
• Annotation and gene finding
• ORF finder, translation, GC/codon analysis
• Multiple sequence alignment, phylogenetic trees, BLAST-style search
• Restriction mapping, digests, and cloning design (Gibson, Golden Gate)
• Primer design, CRISPR guide design, protein-domain and structure views
• An IGV-style genome browser with GC, gene, variant, and sequence tracks
COMPARATIVE & CLINICAL TOOLS (Bio-Scry Pro)
• Species identification and average-nucleotide-identity comparison
• Antimicrobial-resistance and virulence screening, sequence typing, plasmid typing
• Pangenome, selection (dN/dS), and outbreak-clustering analysis
• Batch processing and publication-grade reports with methods, citations, and the exact
reference-database versions used
RESEARCH-GRADE REFERENCE DATA
Bundled, versioned reference databases (public-domain and openly-licensed) power the
typing and comparison tools, and every result records exactly which database version
produced it.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts. No tracking. No analytics. All analysis is performed locally; your reads and
results stay on your device.
Bio-Scry is provided for research and educational use only. It is not a certified
diagnostic device and must not be used as the sole basis for clinical or treatment
decisions.
Only supports bacterial genomes.
