Iconoplasm - Visual Mnemonics for Molecular Cell Biology

About Iconoplasm

Iconoplasm assigns a unique color identity to every human protein-coding gene. These colors serve as visual mnemonics — persistent, recognizable identities that help you keep track of genes across tools and contexts.

Gene Personas

Each gene gets a deterministic color derived from its properties. Published genes also get a portrait — a visual representation of the protein's character.

Explore the full catalog of 19,000+ gene personas. Search by gene symbol (like TP53, BRCA1) or by full name. Click any gene to see its color, portrait status, and links to external databases.

Gene color data from the Iconoplasm API. Protein metadata from UniProt, HGNC, and NCBI Gene.
