Bringing Bioinformatics Tools to the Web with WebAssembly

WebAssembly is a powerful tool for bringing compute-intensive bioinformatics tools to the web. It allows developers to run complex analyses and process biological data in the browser without the need for users to install specialized software. By leveraging WebAssembly, developers can create applications that analyze genetic data, assess data quality, and perform other bioinformatics tasks directly in the browser. This approach offers convenience, privacy, and accessibility, making it easier for researchers, scientists, and other users to utilize bioinformatics tools without the limitations of traditional software installations.
