BioBrick Creator

This new tool is designed to help and make accessible to everyone the process of creating and designing BioBricks. This program has three main modules:

Main features and built-in options:

All features in the application include help buttons to guide users through all the modules. All the resulting sequences have been optimized to provide the user with a useful experience.

Module I Creating a new BioBrick:

• Text (.txt) files reading (no sequence text must be deleted from the file).

• Fasta files reading (in case of multifasta files the first sequence is chosen by default).

• Built-in whole sequence codon optimisation option for the main model organisms in synthetic biology.

• All the results can be saved in a text (.txt) file with all the required information for being added to the parts registry.

• Resulting sequence can also be saved in a fasta file.

Module II Assembly parts:

• Full integration with fasta and text files from Module I.

• Possibility of uploading more BioBricks created with the program.

Module III Plasmid Backbone:

• Possibility of choosing between all well characterised (part assembly, system operation and DNA synthesis) plasmids available at the iGEM database.

Future updates:

• Conversion of the whole system to a web-based application.

• Integration with the iGEM database to help the user experience.

• Design improvement.

System Requirements:

Java Version 6 Update 27
