Further Improvements
The current work has validated a crucial part of our works, to prove that synthetic biology and digital microelectronics could be correlated, and this part of electronics could be useful for helping biologists to create bio-systems. The current software version enables to create a system with two basic biological mechanisms simulated thanks to a VHDL-AMS modelisation.
For the moment our software asks the user to specify all the species characteristics manually. However there are many databases which already gathered that information like the [http://partsregistry.org/Main_Pagewebsite http://partsregistry.org/Main_Pagewebsite] . Then we could imagine a program’s module that would get all the available protein, suggests them to the biologist and downloads all the needed characteristics.
Furthermore, the current interface is not as user friendly as we want it to be. A decent drag and drop system would be required, so as to enable the user to easily add new species, blocks and new reactions of his system. Then, the interaction between different blocks would be more visual, and the user could have in real time an overview of the whole system.
In the same idea, we could imagine than the software can launch the VHDL simulator (DOLPHIN Smash Vision) directly, with just a button pressed by the user. Then, the system generated could be simulated automatically.
Concerning the simulation, currently only basic stimuli are available. We could imagine extending the available simulation features for the system.
