81-second walkthrough of the real university portal at 30 fps, with enlarged views, explanatory panels, smooth scrolling, a continuously visible cursor, interaction sounds and an original score. The displayed dataset date is 26 February 2024, not live epidemiological coverage. Excel export returned HTTP 500 during inspection; no successful download is simulated. Edited for readability, not a performance benchmark or scientific validation.

On mobile, use fullscreen and turn your phone sideways to read the application in detail.

Read the portal's dataset context, then search the genes table for spike.
Select spike, Spain and a percentage above 50 with the native controls; submit a bounded query. Country filters mutation presence, not a country-specific percentage.
Inspect the four returned rows and locate D614G with the table's text search.
Explore the scatter plot's mutation tooltip, drag to zoom and reset the view.
