Persistent Homology: An Interactive Demonstration for Biologists
Biologists should learn algebraic topology too! Recent advancements by have shown the promise of topological data analysis in biochemical tasks, which placed 1st in 10 out of 26 tasks in the D3R Grand Challenge 3. This is an interactive demonstration of persistent homology in the context of biomolecules that runs completely in the browser. I intend to present this at a research workshop, and the participants will walk away with a demo that they can play with whenever they can.
