Cloning and sequence annotation, redesigned.

Design, annotate, and analyze DNA
in one browser-native workspace.

New users admitted every Friday. No credit card required.

Why deoxy

Built to get out of your way.

Cloning that flows

Restriction, Gibson, and Golden Gate assembly with primer design, restriction-site detection, and one-click reverse complement. Every operation lands as a new document with full provenance.

Life doesn't fit into folders

Proteins play roles in multiple pathways. Plasmids don't belong to a single project. Labels let your work live in more than one place.

Annotations that grow with your sequences

Track genes, primers, and mutation sites across all your documents.

Always current. Always backed up.

No installs. No migrations. No nonsense. Sign in from any browser; your work is right where you left it.

Bring your files. All of them.

Import GenBank, FASTA, SnapGene .dna, AB1 traces, and Newick trees, or pull straight from NCBI by accession. Export back out anytime. No lock-in. Free up to 1 GB.

Sharing without the friction

Generate read-only document links for collaborators, students, or reviewers. No account required to view. Real-time co-editing on the roadmap

Analysis

Alignment and phylogeny, built in.

Pairwise alignment, MSA, distance matrices, and phylogenetic trees, all in the same workspace. No file shuffling. No separate apps.

Pairwise & MSA

Align two sequences or two hundred. DNA or protein.

Phylogenetic trees

Build trees from your alignments or import Newick from anywhere.

Restriction analysis

Restriction-site mapping on every sequence, with enzyme filtering.

Structure prediction

Protein structure preview via ESMFold and AlphaFold.

SRA read mapping

Map an SRA accession to a reference and view coverage. On Personal. Variants and consensus use Professional credits.

Distance matrices

Quantify similarity at a glance. View and export to CSV.

Scale

From plasmids to chromosomes.

Large plasmids, BACs, viral genomes, and complete chromosomes, all laid out in a linear map. deoxy loads only the region you're viewing, so even genome-scale sequences remain fast and navigable.

  • Navigate genome-scale sequences in real time.
  • Annotations resolve as you zoom, from the full span down to single base pairs.
  • Jump to a position, search, or select a region and open it as its own document.

NGS

Professional

Explore NGS data at every scale.

Move seamlessly from chromosome-wide coverage to individual reads and called variants. deoxy keeps large sequencing datasets responsive as you zoom, so you can inspect depth, alignments, pileups, and variant evidence without losing genomic context.

For teams

Built for the lab that can’t afford Benchling Enterprise.

If you’re 5 to 30 scientists shipping fast, deoxy gives you the cloning, annotation, and shared-project workflow you need, without a $50K/year enterprise contract or months-long onboarding process. Per-seat pricing scales with your team.

Join the waitlist

Waitlisted teams get first access when they go live.

  • Per-seat billing, no annual minimum
  • Shared projects with version snapshots
  • Real-time co-editing, SSO, and audit log on the roadmap
  • Direct line to the founder for feature requests

Who it’s for

One tool, every bench.

For academic labs

The tools your lab needs, without procurement delays or budget approval hurdles. Create an account and start working today.

For students

Build, annotate, and analyze sequences without paywalls, licensing, or student verification hoops. The free tier includes all the tools you need to get started.

For instructors

Get students working immediately. No software installs. No license management. Teach cloning and sequence analysis using the same workflows found in modern labs.

Pricing

Priced for people, not procurement.

Coming soon

deoxy is in founding-user early access. Personal and Professional users are being admitted from the waitlist in small batches each week so feedback can directly shape the product. Enterprise will launch as its collaboration and administration features mature.

Build in public

Shipped in the open.

deoxy is built by a solo developer with a public changelog and roadmap. Founding users get a direct line to the developer and early access to new features.

  1. Sep 1, 2026NGS

    Local NGS import

    Import BAM/BAI or FASTQ on Professional, including paired-end reads. Align to a reference and view coverage, variants, and consensus.

  2. Aug 31, 2026Pricing

    Professional plan

    The Professional plan is now available: 50 GB storage, 5 GB uploads, local BAM import, and 100 analysis credits per year for heavy SRA and variant analyses.

  3. Jul 28, 2026CRISPR

    CRISPR guide design

    Design SpCas9, SaCas9, and Cas12a guide RNAs from the toolbar. Guides become annotations with PAM highlights, cut-site markers, and a dedicated Guides tab for triage.

On the roadmap

What’s next.

A peek at what’s designed or already in early build. Founding users help shape what ships next.

  1. VCF variant export

    Export called variants as VCF for VEP, snpEff, bcftools, IGV, and other downstream tools.

  2. Real-time co-editing

    Collaborative editing for shared documents.

  3. Benchling export

    Round-trip your data back out, not just in.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How is deoxy different?

Browser-native, fast, and focused. A free tier built for actual solo work, not a 14-day teaser. Shareable documents in the cloud, without a desktop install or enterprise sales cycle. Priced for everyone: no school ID, no procurement, no per-seat minimums.

Is my data safe?

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Additional security and deployment options, including self-hosting and BYOB, are planned for Enterprise.

How is deoxy different from Benchling?

deoxy is focused on making DNA design and sequence analysis fast and intuitive, without the added complexity that comes with broader R&D systems like Benchling.

What is the learning curve like?

deoxy is designed to be easy to pick up for anyone who has used tools like Benchling or SnapGene. The interface is built around familiar molecular-biology concepts, and because it runs in the browser, there’s nothing to install or update.

Is NGS included on the free plan?

Personal includes SRA accession mapping and coverage. Variant calling, consensus, SRA BLAST, extension, primer-vs-SRA, and local BAM import are Professional and use annual credits. See the NGS section

Can I migrate from Benchling / Geneious / SnapGene?

deoxy imports GenBank, FASTA, EMBL, SnapGene .dna, AB1 chromatograms, and Newick (trees). Benchling export is on the roadmap

Who's behind deoxy?
