The tree of life is our toolkit

We develop open-source pipelines, protocols, resources, and applications for scientists.

Pipelines

Open-source software pipelines for advanced comparative biology.

NovelTree

Identify gene families across many genomes to understand orthology.

ProteinCartography

Build and explore protein structure landscapes to identify similar clusters.

We create experimental protocols to help external scientists reproduce and extend our work.

Microchambers

Create inexpensive agar microwells to image large cell populations.

Phenotype-o-mat

Quickly phenotype cells in 96-well format with an inexpensive DIY device.

Kit-free ADA assay

Measure adenosine deaminase activity without buying a commercial kit.

Datasets and other resources to facilitate scientific discovery.

Raman spectroscopy database

We've generated Raman spectra for diverse organic and inorganic materials as a reference and benchmarking dataset.

E. coli genotypes

We've generated a 7,000-strain database of Escherichia coli genomes to enable exploration of antimicrobial resistance.

Tick genome

We've assembled a genome for the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum.

Software products that let users explore our datasets.

Zoogle

Choose human-relevant organismal models for monogenic diseases.
