Biology Calculators

Streamline genetics, microbiology, ecology, and biochemistry workflows with calculators that document formulas, guidance, and accepted references.

DNA → protein translator

Convert DNA or RNA sequences into amino acid chains with codon table annotations.

DNA concentration calculator

Normalize A260 readings to ng/µL, molarity, and copy number with dilution options.

Hemocytometer counter

Convert grid counts into cells per mL with dilution factors and viability tracking.

Cell doubling time

Estimate population doubling for exponential growth or decay phases.

Bacterial growth curve

Model lag, exponential, stationary, and death phases using OD or cell counts.

Allele frequency calculator

Track allele and genotype frequencies with Hardy–Weinberg and selection options.

Hardy–weinberg equilibrium

Evaluate equilibrium assumptions, chi-square tests, and allele shifts.

Punnett square generator

Visualize monohybrid or dihybrid crosses with genotype and phenotype ratios.

Restriction digest planner

Design single or double digests with enzyme compatibility and fragment prediction.

Michaelis–menten calculator

Fit enzyme kinetics, Km, Vmax, and Lineweaver–Burk transformations.

Lotka–volterra simulator

Explore predator–prey population dynamics with adjustable interaction rates.

Island biogeography

Estimate equilibrium species richness from colonization and extinction rates.

Niche breadth calculator

Measure ecological niche width using Levin’s or Shannon diversity indices.

Population pyramid generator

Create age–sex demographic charts from raw counts or normalized proportions.

Life table calculator

Compute survivorship (lx), mortality (qx), and life expectancy (ex) metrics.

Fick's law diffusion

Calculate flux through membranes using concentration gradients and diffusion areas.
