BeginnerGetting Started3 min#biostudio#getting-started#blast#fasta#bam#no-code

Upload a file, run BLAST on a FASTA sequence, explore a protein in the knowledge graph, and convert a BAM file to SAM — all in your browser, in three minutes, without a line of code.

Read Along

Analyze biological data without writing code. In this three-minute getting started tutorial you'll upload a file, run BLAST on a FASTA sequence, explore a protein in a knowledge graph, and convert a BAM file to SAM — all in your browser with smarts.bio Studio.

smarts.bio is an AI bioinformatics platform built for biologists. Instead of command-line tools and scripts, you ask in plain language and the smarts.bio agent picks the right tools, runs them, and explains the results. It connects 100+ bioinformatics tools and databases, including BLAST, GATK, samtools and protein structure prediction.
