Plasmid Design Tool

Amsterdam tool visualization1.png

Overview

We have designed an online tool where a user can create their Cellular Logbook in silico by giving a backbone sequence and selecting one or more sensors manually or predefined from the parts registry database. An algorithm then computes one or more plasmids, taking into account the rules we use for our real life Cellular Logbook, and outputs the appropriate genbank files as well as the visualized version of the plasmid. The tool will also generate all possible permutations of gel bands which can be used as a read-out sheet for the gel electrophoresis results. By using this tool we are able to quickly design a plasmid with multiple sensors.
