Projects

Our projects include Biosearch and Biodesign. Biosearch is an iPhone app which substantially increases the efficiency of searching biobricks in partsregistry.org. Biodesign is a graphics editing application specific to synthetic biology for both iPhone and iPad. Both of them combine efficiency with portability, showing that a new era of mobile biology researching is coming.

Biosearch

BioSearch is just a 2-month old software developed entirely by a group of passionate undergraduate novices from SUSTC who dare to challenge the unchallengeable. During the past 2 months, we are making every effort to optimize it incessantly. BioSearch still has a long way to go. With careful analysis and prudent evaluation of our application, here we make a list of improvements waiting to be implemented in next version.

1.Enable BioSearch to support history view function

If achieved, BioSearch will be even better than a web explorer.

Biodesign

Our second project, BioDesign, is a graphics editing application specific to synthetic biology for both iPhone and iPad. BioDesign is based on previous iGEM software named Tinker Cell and was elaborately improved to adapt to mobile platform. It provides hundreds of biobrick icons as well as lots of fancy functions including dragging graphics, drawing curves and automatically connecting figures with corresponding arrows. With BioSearch, users can draw biochemical reaction schematics anywhere they want and share their drawings with friends. BioDesign will be available online very soon!

-<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;The era of Partsregistry on mobile phone has arrived! With BioSearch on your iPhone, you can now check biobricks and partsregistry in the seminar room; You can design your genetic circuits when you are waiting for a bus! BioSearch is fully interacting with Partsregistry( http://partsregistry.org ) and has all parts information of Partsregistry database with enhanced user-friendly interface.</p>

-<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;BioSearch has a powerful search engine. Users can search parts and devices by type, by category, by keywords, etc. Our online survey shows that BioSearch has major improvement in search result ranking. In addition, our iPhone App has new functions including sharing, rating, adding bookmarks and downloading to local system. These new functions shall promote the commuting and sharing between synthetic biologists. The BioSearch is going to be available on Apple Store and is free to use. </p>
