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.

Read mapping

Map FASTQ from SRA accessions to a reference (via minimap2) and visualize coverage.

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.

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, all without a $50K/year enterprise contract or a 6-month onboarding process. Per-seat pricing that scales with your team, not against it.

Join the waitlist

Team plans launch alongside paid tiers. Waitlisted teams get first access and founding-team pricing 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.

Professional

For power users and individual scientists

deoxy is in founding-user early access. The Personal tier is the one being admitted to now; a small batch from the waitlist each week so feedback can directly shape the product. Professional and Enterprise will activate as the underlying features mature. Founding users lock in founding-user pricing.

SRA read mapping is in beta on every tier today; full NGS file support is on the roadmap

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. May 20, 2026Performance

    Always-on cloud read mapping

    SRA BAM mapping jobs now start immediately and run in parallel across dedicated workers, with shared reference caching for repeat jobs.

  2. May 19, 2026Cloning

    Cloning workflows

    Restriction, Gibson, Golden Gate assembly, and codon optimization workflows are now available. Each operation creates a new document with full provenance tracking.

  3. May 14, 2026Genome

    Embedded genome map in the editor

    The editor now includes a linear genome map view at low zoom levels, using the same annotation renderer as the standalone genome tab.

What’s next.

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

  1. CRISPR guide design

    Find and score CRISPR guide RNAs against your sequence.

  2. Professional tier

    More storage, larger file uploads, and priority support for individual power users.

  3. Real-time co-editing

    Collaborative editing for shared documents.

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 cloud projects 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.

When will NGS / BAM / FASTQ support land?

Today, deoxy can map FASTQ from SRA accessions to a reference (FASTQ BAM via minimap2) and visualize the result. Full BAM, CRAM, and FASTQ file import are on the roadmap

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?

Built by a solo developer, in public.

Why is deoxy in early access, and how do I get in?

New users are admitted every Friday so feedback can directly shape the product. Join the waitlist with one click; you'll get an email when your seat is ready (typically within a couple of weeks). Founding users lock in founding-user pricing.
