Each worm has a genome of 10 genes which control its characteristics, such as mutation rate, longevity, movement, and chemotaxis. Their shape and colors reflect their genome. Your movement causes a chemical to be released in their environment. When the screen is blue the chemical is beneficial. When the screen is red the chemical is toxic. Move and see how this changing environment affects the worms! See how different environmental niches drive diversity, how natural selection shapes the worms characteristics, and how extinction events followed by a favorable environment lead to a loss of genetic diversity (Founder effect).

Compile and explore arbitrarily large n-dimensional scientific data in the browser — points, lines, Gaussian splats and meshes, streamed from Zarr and rendered on the GPU. - royerlab/luxar

Biohub, DOE, NIH, and partners will generate open, standardized data to train AI models that predict how cells respond to interventions.

Volumetric microscopy produces datasets too large to share as files and too rich to convey as still images, yet exploring them interactively means installing desktop software or building web infrastructure. Here we present Luxar, an open-source Python framework that compiles multidimensional data into compact archives that any modern browser renders from static file hosting. Fluorescence volumes are represented as mixtures of anisotropic Gaussians (Gaussian splats): the image becomes geometry that the GPU draws directly, with no voxel grid to rebuild. Splats share one scene with points, trajectories and surfaces. Blind-spot cross-validation sets the number of Gaussians without noise-free references. Across 17 volumes from 12 datasets and four modalities, this yields a median 99-fold (6–340-fold) size reduction at 26–67 dB peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), in minutes per volume on one GPU. We demonstrate Luxar on a 500-timepoint embryogenesis recording, super-resolution localisations,
