Wellesley HCI iGEM Team: Medal Fulfillment


Medal Fulfillments



  • Have another team utilize the software developed by your team
  • Use SBOL in your software documentation
    • MoClo Planner uses SBOL symbols to communicate about parts as part of its core functionality
    • The MoClo Planner incorporates SBOL symbols into the user interface to clearly communicate part type information. The visual representation of each biological part includes the symbol for quick recognition and reduction of the text burden. In conjunction with the MoClo Planner's touch-based interactions, the SBOL symbols contribute to a more immersive user experience that comes nearer to the direct manipulation of biological parts.
    • While the symbols are clearly different, the MoClo Planner uses additional color cues to aid user recognition. Due to the number of parts displayed, the amount of space available for each part and its displayed data is very limited. Color allowed us to minimize the space occupied by the image while keeping visuals distinct. But because our color scheme is unique to the MoClo Planner, there may be conflicts with other instances of colored SBOL symbols, which may also reduce the effectiveness of color as a visual cue. A possible solution could be to use a standard set of colors for the SBOL symbols.
  • Outline and detail how your software effects Human Practices in Synthetic Biology
    • SynFlo communicates key ideas about synthetic biology to a wider audience

  • Provide a detailed, draft specification for the next version of your software tool
  • Provide a demonstration of their software as a video tutorial on their wiki

  • Register the team, have a great summer, and have fun attending the Jamboree
  • Create and share a description of the team's project via the iGEM wiki
  • Present a Poster and Talk at the iGEM Jamboree
  • Develop and make available via the The Registry of Software Tools an open source software tool that supports synthetic biology based on BioBrick standard biological parts
