As the first German software team we are proud to present our ambitious project, a synthetic biological software suite, based on Google's collaboration and communication tool Wave. Announced as the reinvention of the email, chat and wiki, Wave represents an extensible, modular and real-time collaboration platform. On this basis, we built a suite for collaborative synthetic biology research comprising parts design and documentation. To reflect the symbioses of Wave with synthetic biological tools, our software is called '''SynBioWave'''.

Synthetic Biology, which aims at constructing whole new genomes, is pushed forward by many users and relies on the assembly of genetic elements to devices and later systems. The construction process needs to be transparent and even at final stages control at the basepair level is required. We are building a software environment enabling multiple distributed users to analyze and construct genetic parts and ultimately genomes with real-time communication. Our current version demonstrates the principle use as well as the power of the underlying Google Wave protocol for collaborative synthetic biology efforts. Many wave-robots with a manageable set of capabilities will divide and conquer the complex task of creating a genome in silico. The initial developments of 'SynBioWave' lay the ground for basic layout, calling and data exchange of wave-robots in a clear and open process, so that future robots can be added and shared easily.

We have created an open-source, '''synthetic biological software suite''' called SynBioWave. Based on Google's communication tool Wave, SynBioWave is made for '''collaborative research''' comprising parts design and documentation. Moreover, biologists can record and share the process of creating research data and perform basic tasks using SynBioWave. This gives synthetic biology access to the collaborative and interactive web 2.0.

We created this web based software as a biological collaboration platform on top of Google Wave. This included the work on displaying biological sequence data, importing and exporting such data from different sources, supporting a large range of sequence formats, such as FASTA, GenBank and EMBL. To realize the implementation, we even invented a communication protocol called qooxWave. We solved the problem of multi-robot communication and extended Wave's user interface for our purpose.

again and

after last year's second place we're highly motivated &nbsp;to make

some good piece of synthetic biology in 2009. In this year we want to

create an universal restriction enzyme to facilitate labwork

and enable new techniques. <br />

Universal Endonuclease &ndash; Cutting Edge Technology</b>
+
-
<div class="art-PostContent">
+
-
<p>Gene technology is driven by the use of restriction
+
-
endonucleases.
+
-
Yet, constraints of limited sequence length and variation recognized by
+
-
available restriction enzymes pose a major roadblock for synthetic
+
-
biology. We developed the basis for universal restriction enzymes,
+
-
primarily for routine cloning but also with potential for in vivo
+
-
applications. We use a nucleotide cleavage domain fused to a binding
+
-
domain, which recognizes a programmable adapter that mediates binding
+
-
to DNA and thus cleavage. As adapter we use readily available modified
+
-
oligonucleotides, as binding domain anticalins and as cleavage domain
+
-
FokI moieties engineered for heterodimerization and activity. For
+
-
cloning, this universal enzyme has merely to be mixed with the sequence
+
-
specific oligonucleotide and the target DNA. Binding and release are
+
-
addressed with thermocycling. Additionally, we provide concepts for in
+
-
vivo applications by external adapter delivery, activity regulation by
+
-
photo-switching, as well as for modifying an argonaute protein towards
+
-
a DNA endonuclease.
