FractalDNA

FractalDNA is a Python package to make DNA geometries that can be joined together like jigsaw puzzles. Both simple, sections of DNA and Solenoidal DNA can be built. This module was built to enable DNA-level simulations to be run in Geant4-DNA, part of the Geant4 project.

Structure models define the large scale structure of DNA, seeded from fractals. An example seeding fractal is below:

A 3-D iterated Hilbert Curve

DNA Models provide straight and curved segments that can come together to make DNA for use in simulations.

A straight solenoidal DNA segment

Documentation is divided into three main sections, focused on building DNA models, high level structure models, and then some notebook examples. showing how the code works.
