| - | <h1 style="text-align:center">Software tools for iGEMers <br>BioBrick/Project Search & Tutorials</h1> | + | <h2>Software tools for iGEMers : BioBrick/Project Search & Tutorials</h2> |
| | + | When you first decided to take part in iGEM, you might have spent a lot of time on things such as learning about BioBricks and how to use them, searching a vast library of past projects, and looking for relevant parts.<br> |
| | + | These difficulties are common, so you are not alone among beginners to stumble upon them, halting the progression of determinig your team project.<br> |
| | <br> | | <br> |
| - | <h3><a href="http://igem-ut.net/bbsearch/" target="_blank">You can try BioBrick Search here!</a></h3> | + | However, there are presently only a few tools which help beginners from spending too much time.<br> |
| | + | Most software made by past teams target Synthetic biologists, those already farmiliar with iGEM to some extent, and are only available after long steps -- downloading, decompressing, and installing.<br> |
| | <br> | | <br> |
| - | <div>
| + | So, we decided to create a set of tools helpful to beginners.<br> |
| - | <h2>Background</h2>
| + | If common obstacles can be removed, you can spend more time thinking about your project.<br> |
| - | The UT-Tokyo-Software team is planning software projects aimed to <b>assist iGEM teams</b>. For many teams, the majority of members are new-comers. Therefore, many of these teams require a substantial amount of time and effort at the beginning of the year to get to know iGEM, after which they will finally be able to start thinking about what they want to do. We believe that if this learning period can be made more efficient, the productivity of teams can be greatly enhanced. Although tutorials and search systems are provided at the iGEM website, we have decided to create our own set of programs that fill in some of the important gaps that we feel are left open at the iGEM sites. Our project consist of two parts: "Tutorial" and "Search".

| - | <div> | + | We have created two types of software : the Tutorial and the Searching System.<br> |
| | + | <br> |
| | + | The Tutorial helps you understand concepts that beginners frequently stumble on, and what BioBricks and Genetic Networks are.<br> |
| | + | We have gamified the totorial, making it enjoyable to read.<br> |
| | + | <br> |
| | + | The Searching System saves your time searching past projects and BioBrick parts.<br> |
| | + | You can easily access the information you really want.<br> |
| | + | <br> |
| | + | Detailed descriptions are on individual project pages.<br> |

| - | <h2>Tutorial</h2>
| |
| - | To make new-comers get used to the iGEM earlier, well-designed educational materials are needed. We're planning to improve on the current official web-based tutorial. As a software project, we’re aiming to make it <b>interactive</b> and <b>enjoyable</b> to help beginners understand iGEM concepts and techniques. The themes included in the planned tutorials are "Biobricks", "Notable past projects", "Genetic networks" and so on.

| - | <h2>Search</h2>
| |
| - | When building iGEM projects, we have to investigate relevant past projects and Biobrick parts. However the current Biobrick search system implemented in the parts registry displays all the parts containing the search query, and beginners frequently cannot judge which part is usable. The present situation for searching past projects is also difficult, for example because a cross-year search does not exist. To solve these problems, we are developing a new <b>parts and past projects search systems</b>. We are planning to implement an ordering (by popularity, part workability, keyword-relevance etc.) algorithm, a tagging system and a relevance-search which will enable searching, for example, “which is the most popular GFP part?”,or “look up all bioremediation projects which have won a gold prize”,or “are there any projects similar to this?”.
