Genetic Constructor: An Online DNA Design Platform
Genetic
Constructor is a cloud Computer Aided Design (CAD) application
developed to support synthetic biologists from design intent through
DNA fabrication and experiment iteration. The platform allows users
to design, manage, and navigate complex DNA constructs and libraries,
using a new visual language that focuses on functional parts abstracted
from sequence. Features like combinatorial libraries and automated
primer design allow the user to separate design from construction
by focusing on functional intent, and design constraints aid iterative
refinement of designs. A plugin architecture enables contributions
from scientists and coders to leverage existing powerful software
and connect to DNA foundries. The software is easily accessible and
platform agnostic, free for academics, and available in an open-source
community edition. Genetic Constructor seeks to democratize DNA design,
manufacture, and access to tools and services from the synthetic biology
community
