USER fusion primer design software

Program user manual

We have put a lot of thought and consideration into which user-definable parameters to include. In the end, we decided that a user-friendly input was the best solution for the beta version of the software. Further down the line, the program can be customized for high-end users, and advanced options made available upon request. For now we keep it simple, and ask only for three main inputs:

1.Name of biobrick (essentially you can call it whatever you wish), and;
2.Sequence of biobrick (pasted as single-stranded DNA from 5' to 3'). NOTE: Only A's, T's, G's, and C's are accepted as input, i.e. no FASTA-headers or spaces (line shifts are ok).
3.Your choice of USER cassette. For now only one is available, but more will follow shortly.

As a default in the interface, only two biobrick-submission boxes are available to begin with. If you wish to fuse more than two biobricks in the same reaction, simply click "add another biobrick" and another submission box will appear. The maximum capacity is nine biobricks (may be subject to change).

Synthetic Biology

“Synthetic Biology is an art of engineering new biological systems that don’t exist in nature.”

-Paras Chopra & Akhil Kamma

In nature, biological molecules work together in complex systems to serve purposes of the cell. In synthetic biology these molecules are used as individual functional units that are combined to form tailored systems exhibiting complex dynamical behaviour. From ‘design specifications’ generated from computational modelling, engineering-based approaches enables the construction of such new specified gene-regulatory networks. The ultimate goal of synthetic biology is to construct systems that gain new functions, and the perspectives of the technology are enormous. It has already been used in several medical projects2 and is predicted to play a major role in biotech-production and environmental aspects.
