  • Biobrick is localized and transformed into searching kit for users to get comprehensive information conveniently.
  • The seven parts of our software, BiArkit, have been transferred into App called Clotho, and anyone can create and share new tools in it.

Wellesley-HCI-2012 MoClo planner

  • The layered workspace allows for efficient and organized transfer of information from one level of the cloning method to another without distracting from the primary workspace.
  • SynFlo allows users to create useful virtual life forms from standardized genetic components, exploring common synthetic biology concepts and techniques.

ENSPS-Strasbourg-2011

  • Two simulations will be possible: a behavioral simulation (binary model) will give to the biologist an idea of the behavior of the system; in another simulation biologists will see the different interaction between species, the evolution of the concentrations into the system, and have an accurate idea of the transient states. USTC-Software-2011 Lachesis
  • It can provide automatic parameter fitting of a mathematical model for a desired behavior, according to experiment data or hand drawn curves using evolution algorithm.

VT-ENSIMAG-Biosecurity-2010 GenoTHREAT

  • It was developed in accordance with a draft sequence screening guidance published by the United States Government in 2009.

Korea-U-Seoul-2015 Gil

  • Gil can select a simple path that does not include repeated nodes among all the possible paths and better paths will be shown in comparison with “All shortest paths”
  • Users can set up a cutoff to determine the depth of search.
  • When it comes to a set of compounds, information about the maximum twelve paths will be saved into JSON and text format. When it comes to the standard biological parts, after running the Nucleotide BLAST to KEGG GENES data, 565,163 matches were found (with E-value of 1e-5). The 3972 parts were linked to 20,276 gene IDs.

SYSU-Software-2015 CORE

  • When designing circuits, users will know whether your circuit is safe and the safety of the design can also be evaluated by everyone.
  • CORE provides protocol managements and experiment schedule.
  • CORE employs SBOL(v) standard for standardized deposit of genetic design, thus information retrieval and parsing become easier.

UESTC-Software-2015 MCCAP

  • The construction of minimal gene set starts from the experimentally-determined essential genes.
  • A new strategy called half-retaining is used to identify essential genes conserved among over half of the reference species.
  • Users can compare how many differences are there between the two minimal gene sets and see Access number and function of the gene cluster.

AMU-Poznan-2014 Sh-miR designer 2.0

  • Only the mRNA number which expression should be decreased can be provided.
  • Include off-target validation and check of immune motifs.
  • Two applications are provided to access the software, one requires siRNA sequences and the other requires transcript accession number from NCBI database.

  • With presented biobricks connected with database, the upload form could be directly filled out in "upload".
  • Users can also submit their form filled out in the software to the Registry to upload their self-created biobricks.

UCSD-Software-2014 SBiDer

  • A comprehensive database is built to capture the behavior, composition, and interactions of existing genetic devices in the literature.
  • Researchers can query the database network for a circuit design expressed as logical operators, and retrieve the sub-network of genetic devices that satisfies the circuit design.

Vanderbilt-Software-2014 Darwin

  • Produces a formatted file representing each ORF on its own line of text, making each edit only modify a single line of the output text.
