VoganMolBio

Motif is a molecular-biology workbench that runs inside Claude Science as a plugin. Instead of answering sequence questions with prose, it turns a request into a real object you can inspect: annotated DNA, RNA, and protein records, circular and linear plasmid maps, restriction digests and gels, primer design and PCR, Gibson, Golden Gate, and GoldenBraid planning, multiple-sequence alignment, Sanger trace review, and typed analysis results. Every derived record keeps its parent and the transform that produced it, so results can be traced and checked. The bio functions are deterministic, so the same request gives the same answer. The workbench is a single self-contained HTML artifact that runs locally in the browser. A narrow MCP connector mounts the interface inside Claude Science, with a saveable HTML fallback for hosts that do not mount MCP Apps. Nothing leaves the machine.
