Overview: PuppetShow

Constructing a combinatorial library of devices is tedious using manual laboratory techniques and would require hundreds of hours of careful work. To remedy this, we are implementing the Puppeteer Biological Protocol Automation Suite. This suite includes a high level programming language for specifying biological protocols commonly used in the laboratory, which are then executed by a liquid-handling robot with minimal user intervention.

We implemented two protocols central to BioBricks assembly---Restriction Digestion and Ligation---in Puppeteer. We validated the Puppeteer implementation by executing multiple trials of both protocols and verifying the result by running a gel.
