What is Genetiqo and how does the 3D DNA visualization work?

Genetiqo is an interactive 3D DNA visualization and genetics education platform. Our 3D viewer uses WebGL technology to render realistic DNA double helix structures in your browser. You can rotate, zoom, and explore DNA molecules in real-time, seeing how base pairs (Adenine-Thymine and Guanine-Cytosine) connect to form the famous double helix structure. The visualization helps students, educators, and curious minds understand molecular genetics in an engaging, hands-on way.

What can I learn about genetics using Genetiqo?

Genetiqo helps you understand fundamental genetics concepts including: DNA structure and the double helix, base pairing rules (A-T, G-C), how genetic information is stored and read, the relationship between genes and traits (heredity), basic molecular biology principles, and how mutations can affect genetic sequences. Our educational content is designed for students from high school through university level, as well as lifelong learners interested in genetics.

Is Genetiqo free to use for educational purposes?

Yes, Genetiqo offers free access to our core 3D DNA visualization tools and educational content. Students, teachers, and educational institutions can use our platform at no cost for learning and teaching genetics. We believe that understanding our genetic heritage should be accessible to everyone.

How does Genetiqo protect my genetic data and privacy?

Genetiqo is built with a privacy-first architecture. We use local-first processing, meaning your genetic data stays on your device and is never uploaded to our servers without explicit consent. All visualizations are rendered locally in your browser. We employ encryption for any data that does need to be transmitted, and we never sell or share personal genetic information with third parties.

What makes 3D DNA visualization better than static images?

3D visualization provides an immersive, interactive learning experience that static images cannot match. With Genetiqo's 3D viewer, you can: rotate the DNA molecule to see it from any angle, zoom in to examine individual base pairs, watch animated demonstrations of DNA processes, interact with the structure to reinforce learning, and develop spatial understanding of molecular biology. Research shows that interactive 3D learning significantly improves comprehension and retention compared to 2D resources.

Can I use Genetiqo for my biology class or research presentation?

Absolutely! Genetiqo is designed for educational use. Teachers can use our 3D visualizations in classroom presentations, students can explore DNA structure for science projects, and researchers can create compelling visuals for papers and presentations. Our platform supports screenshots and exports to help you include 3D DNA imagery in your educational materials.

What devices and browsers support Genetiqo's 3D DNA viewer?

Genetiqo's 3D DNA viewer works on any modern web browser that supports WebGL, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. It works on desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. For the best experience, we recommend using a device with a dedicated graphics card and a screen size of at least 10 inches, though our responsive design ensures usability on all screen sizes.

How accurate are Genetiqo's DNA visualizations for scientific study?

Our 3D DNA models are scientifically accurate representations based on established molecular biology research. The double helix structure follows the Watson-Crick model with correct base pair dimensions, major and minor groove proportions, and proper helical twist. While simplified for educational clarity, our visualizations maintain scientific accuracy suitable for high school, undergraduate, and general science education.
