Educational biology content — not medical advice.

Interactive explorers

Rich educational visualizations for DNA packaging, chromosomes, cell division, and gene expression. Each explorer has a guided interactive model plus full text explanations — content is never locked inside canvas pixels alone.

How to use

  • Use step buttons, keyboard arrows, or on-canvas controls — hover is never required.
  • Read the live caption and the page’s written sections for the same ideas.
  • Models are simplified for teaching and are not drawn to molecular scale unless stated.
