A genomics
lab in your pocket.
Assemble whole bacterial genomes, analyze and design sequences, and type isolates — entirely on-device. No cloud. No upload. No account.
Serious bioinformatics, running in full on hardware you already own.
Entirely on-device
Assembly, alignment, annotation and typing all compute locally on the phone's CPU and GPU. No cloud, no upload, no account — there's simply no server in the loop.
A genome in ~90 s
Our on-device Spine assembler turns raw reads into a complete, circular genome in about a minute and a half — right in your pocket.
A complete bench
Raw reads to a finished, annotated genome — plus alignment, trees, cloning, primers, CRISPR, structure and comparative tools.
Research-grade & reproducible
Versioned reference databases, with every result recording exactly which database version produced it — so a run is reproducible and citable.
One tap assembles the bundled sample.

Get a genome.
Bio-Scry ships with a bundled E. coli genome. Tap once and it assembles instantly — de novo, entirely on-device — so you can explore the whole workflow before loading a single read of your own.
A live window into your genome.
GC content, read depth, variants and the raw sequence — computed and drawn on the phone, offline. This is a track, rendered right here.
Assembling a genome used to mean a compute cluster or an extortionate bioinformatics bill.
Until now, turning raw reads into a finished genome meant either standing up your own cluster or paying a service to do it off-site — with your data leaving the building either way. Bio-Scry runs the whole workflow on-site, on the phone in your hand: sequence at the bench, assemble where you stand.
Private by construction
Your reads and results are processed locally and never transmitted. There's nothing to leak because nothing leaves the device.
Works anywhere
No connection required. A phone is enough — useful in the field, in a classroom, or anywhere a server and reliable internet aren't.
Immediate
Open the app, load reads, get a genome — no accounts, no setup, no queue. The bench is ready the moment you are.
Everything, on one device.
Assemble a genome
A whole bacterial genome in ~90 s with the on-device Spine long-read assembler — plus short-read, hybrid and reference-guided pipelines.
Annotate & explore
Gene finding, functional annotation, methylation, and a genome browser with GC, gene, variant and sequence tracks.
Sequence workbench
Alignment & trees, cloning design, primers, CRISPR guides, restriction maps, RNA folding and a 3D protein viewer.
Comparative genomics
Average nucleotide identity, phylogenetics and outbreak clustering, pangenome and selection analysis.
Isolate typing
Resistance & virulence screening, sequence typing (MLST), plasmid typing and mobile genetic elements.
Data & reproducibility
Bundled, versioned reference databases, results stamped with database versions, and FASTA/FASTQ/GenBank import & export.
A whole genome, assembled on your phone — in about a minute and a half.
Spine is a complete overlap–layout–consensus assembler that runs end-to-end on-device: it overlaps your reads, lays them into contigs, votes out an accurate consensus, and closes each replicon into a circular chromosome or plasmid. Validated across five genera and three sequencing chemistries.
