Persephone®

A multi-genome browser carefully crafted using latest technologies.

Bioinformatics Storefront

Persephone® is a modern way for bioinformaticians to present genomic data to biologists

Browse in Style

We focus on efficient storage, optimized transfer and fast rendering of genomic information. Navigating through data sets is fun. Genome is not static anymore. ``It's alive!``

Cloud Service

The complete system can be installed on Amazon Web Services, so no additional internal hardware is needed.

Responsive Interface

The software was designed with performance in mind, handling large datasets with ease, while keeping memory usage to a minimum.

Vertical and Horizontal Layouts

Compare physical and genetic maps in vertical view, then switch to horizontal view to drill down to the nucleotide level.

In-House Installation

Persephone can be set up on premise. Our team will provide detailed instructions and will guide you through the installation process. We can also help with data loading and software integration.

Customer-led Design

Our team will work with you to develop the exact features you need.

Drag-and-drop

Open local files in multiple formats, then visualize them alongside all the other data.

User Friendly

Persephone’s intuitive interface has been built based on suggestions from multiple researchers.

Visual BLAST

The users can run BLAST and evaluate its results graphically, integrated with the rest of the genomic data.

Export

Save displayed genomic features in various formats, including FASTA, Genbank, and CSV.
