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

# Make a DNA Chain 40 base pairs long (repeating GATC).
chain = dna.DNAChain("GTAC" * 10)
# Export it to a DataFrame for use in another program
df = chain.to_frame()For more, check out the notebook examples in the project documentation.
