Window to the World’s Genetic Information
We Animate Genomes
A multi-genome browser carefully crafted using latest technologies.
Persephone® is a modern way for bioinformaticians to present genomic data to biologists
We focus on efficient storage, optimized transfer and fast rendering of genomic information. Navigating through data sets is fun. Genome is not static anymore. ``It's alive!``
We would be happy to show what a professional genome browser is capable of. Just send us an email. Thank you
A free, fully-functional application is hosted on our website. The application serves the data from our demo database populated with many public genomes like wheat (IWGSC v2.1) or human (GRCh38). See the full list of available genomes on the right.
The latest news is updated in our blog.
The original version of Persephone was developed for Windows desktops. Please be aware that most of its functionality has since been migrated to the web version, and we intend to phase out support for the desktop application. Additionally, the web version includes many new features not available on the desktop. The link to the old desktop version is provided here for reference only.
The latest news on the desktop version is updated in our blog.

The complete system can be installed on Amazon Web Services, so no additional internal hardware is needed.
The software was designed with performance in mind, handling large datasets with ease, while keeping memory usage to a minimum.
Compare physical and genetic maps in vertical view, then switch to horizontal view to drill down to the nucleotide level.
Persephone can be set up on premise. Our team will provide detailed instructions and will guide you through the installation process. We can also help with data loading and software integration.
Our team will work with you to develop the exact features you need.
Open local files in multiple formats, then visualize them alongside all the other data.
Persephone’s intuitive interface has been built based on suggestions from multiple researchers.
The users can run BLAST and evaluate its results graphically, integrated with the rest of the genomic data.
Save displayed genomic features in various formats, including FASTA, Genbank, and CSV.
