Introduction
Imagine that you could build a complete biosystem, with many biobricks involved in it, without complex laboratories experiences, fastidious studies, and in taking advantage of a complete Automation Design Software suite.
Context
Today, many research teams are focused on developing and characterizing biobricks to realize basic biological functions. Each day, progresses are made to improve the complexity of those biobricks to build bio-devices, and biosystems. The aim of iGEM competition is also to integrate engineering competences to make the biologists’ life easier. And if the synthetic biology field is opened to other sciences, it could learn from other scientific domains. Indeed, some scientific fields have already overcome several issues to build extremely complex systems which realize many evolved functions, like in microelectronics. In this way, our team, composed of several non-biologists students and instructors, try to prove that microelectronics and biology can be associated to create a complete Automation Design Software suite aimed at helping biologists to build complete biosystems.
