Jean is a free bioinformatics and biotech suite for the whole experiment. Design constructs, primers and CRISPR guides; simulate digests, PCR, Gibson and Golden Gate builds; analyze Sanger traces, qPCR and ddPCR runs, variants, trees, mass-spec proteomics and molecules; verify the clone you got. Every engine is checked against its field's reference tools and every result explains its method. It runs in the browser with no account, and as a remote MCP server any AI assistant can call.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and many workflows can be vibe-coded, and several tools exist as open libraries such as Biopython and primer3. Getting scientifically correct cloning simulations, trace analysis, and proteomics output needs validated domain algorithms and expert review.
What it would actually take: A real version would combine a desktop or web UI with established bioinformatics libraries and wet-lab file formats. Each module (primer design, Golden Gate and Gibson simulation, Sanger trace basecalling, mass-spec search) needs validation against known datasets. That validation needs scientists with lab experience, not only engineers.
