On this page we provide links that access all the code and documentation for the tools that we have written, Lachesis the software projects and all represent a substantial amount of effort. For example in the project there are over ? files and ? lines of code. In addition to the source code and documentation, we highly recommend the use of an integrated development environment (Qt for example; info below) as well as the use of a revision control system (Git for example; info below). Our code is all open source under General Public License (GPL) and the majority of the code (99%) is written in C++.

Source code

The registry of software tools for iGEM is currently hosted by GitHub. The site is located at: https://github.com/igemsoftware/USTC-Software_2011

Supporting tools

Lachesis and all its tools all require Qt 4.7. You can get it here. In general we recommend that you have the latest version of Qt installed on whatever machine you run Lachesis on.We have gotten Lachesis to run on many configurations. Please don't give up and please contact us if you have further questions.

Lachesis is developed using Qt SDK which we highly recommend you use to avoid any potential difficulties.You will need to create a new project with the source code you download as well as add the libraries needed. Many of these libraries are available with the Lachesis download while others come with Qt. You will need to augment your Qt project with these libraries. Please see the documentation for more information on how to build Lachesis as a new project.

Finally, in order to get our code from GitHub it may be necessary to download Git (software).You can get this here.
