# Iconoplasm

Iconoplasm maps human-gene biology onto memorable visual character cards called blots. The labelled semantic profile on each complete gene page is a text equivalent of properties already visible on its card.

## Canonical discovery

- [Gene reference catalog](https://iconoplasm.brinedew.bio/genes): Server-rendered, self-locating symbol ranges
- Gene profile URL: https://iconoplasm.brinedew.bio/gene/{HGNC_SYMBOL}
- [Sitemap index](https://iconoplasm.brinedew.bio/sitemap.xml): Static pages and gene-profile shards

## Biological-to-character mappings

- Gene symbol and full name → character identity.
- Card hexadecimal color → named character color.
- First gene-symbol letter → color hue.
- HPA tissue-specificity tau → character color vibrance.
- gnomAD LOEUF constraint → character color shade.
- Gene-family grouping → character family and family trait.
- Soluble or transmembrane molecular category → character sex.
- First-publication year → character age.
- Molecular mass in kDa → character mass in kg.
- PFAM clan → character aesthetic.
- Oncogene or tumor-suppressor molecular alignment → character alignment.
