Clotho

Tool Overview

Clotho is a software platform for synthetic biologists. Clotho is a nexus. Clotho is the foundation for the automated future of biological engineering. All of these feats are accomplished without Clotho doing anything itself. At its core, Clotho is a data model and a plugin infrastructure. In other words, Clotho gives gives a vocabulary to describe biological objects and a way for many different types of tools to interact with these biological objects. By itself, Clotho is not a tool. However, the plugin infrastructure allows Clotho to be a rallying points for all sorts of different tools, each fulfilling the exact need of the user. This summer we built a design suite for transforming plasmids,

Results

Future Work

* More applications * Increased automation, allowing for high level design of DNA constructs
