nc_frey · x · 2026-07-22
Motif is an AI-native molecular biology workbench plugin for Claude Science, designed so biologists do not need to leave the assistant to work with sequences.
- It can fetch and annotate genes in a target pathway.
- It supports multiple-sequence alignment inside preferred external tools.
- It helps design and label CRISPR-Cas guide sequences.
- The plugin was built at the "Built with Claude: Life Sciences" hackathon and is MIT-licensed open source.
- The demo video itself was made with HeyGen Hyperframes and ElevenLabs TTS.
