Show PostEver wanted to watch chromosomes fold? lefsim simulates loop extrusion live in your browser. Add, remove and drag CTCF sites around, watch contact maps emerge, and more. Underneath is a blazing fast Rust engine with Python and JS packages, for research-scale use. Try it: lefsim.abdenlab.org
