What this is
A two-page static demo illustrating how random insertional mutagenesis saturates a genome. Random insertions accumulate across a 30-gene window drawn from a chosen species' gene-size distribution; any insertion landing in a gene body knocks it out. The observed knockout curve tracks the expected 1 − (1 − p)ⁿ closely.
No build system, no dependencies, no tracking. Both pages are self-contained HTML with inline CSS and vanilla JS — open them directly in a browser.

- Explainer — A-level-style derivation of the curve.
- Biology — the underlying biology and gene-density spread across cellular life.
- Checkpoints — commit-log snapshot of the project.
