Explorer

This page hosts the two main interactive visualizations. Both are rendered client-side using precomputed data files, so they work on GitHub Pages without any server.

Semantic Space Explorer

Explore all artifacts (papers, patents, iGEM projects, and parts) in a shared 2D semantic space. Each point is one artifact. Points that are close together are semantically similar.

Controls:

Filter by artifact type (papers / patents / projects / parts)
Highlight the carbon-capture case study subset
Hover a point to see the title and year
Click a point to see full details

Geographic View

City-level map showing where synthetic biology activity is concentrated. Bubble size reflects total artifact count; hover for a city breakdown.
