RNA BEE

Explore the fascinating world of RNA through interactive simulations, structure prediction, and computational evolution.

Overview

Built on Open Science

RNA Bee does not reinvent RNA prediction algorithms.

Instead, it integrates trusted open-source scientific software such as:

  • ViennaRNA
  • RNAstructure

These libraries have been developed and validated by the scientific community over many years.

RNA Bee focuses on providing a modern web interface, reproducible workflows, and an extensible architecture around these proven tools.

Technology Stack

RNA Bee is built using a modern containerized architecture.

  • Django REST Framework
  • WordPress
  • PostgreSQL
  • MariaDB
  • Redis
  • Celery
  • Docker Compose
  • Apache Reverse Proxy

This architecture keeps the scientific computation, API, website, and asynchronous workloads separated while remaining easy to deploy on a single VPS.

Open Source

RNA Bee is developed as an open-source project.

The goal is to create a transparent platform where anyone can:

  • study the source code,
  • reproduce experiments,
  • contribute new ideas,
  • build plugins,
  • or extend the simulation engine.

The project is available on GitHub and welcomes contributions from developers, scientists, and students.
