Biological design and build automation platforms at JBEI and TeselaGen

The capacity to iterate through the biological design-build-test engineering cycle more quickly than the competition is mission critical for academics and biotechnology companies to be the first to publish or bring product to market. At the Joint BioEnergy Institute (jbei.org), we are developing several cloud-based software tools that accelerate the biological design-build-test cycle, including a biological parts repository (ICE, public-registry.jbei.org), DNA assembly design automation tools (DeviceEditor and j5, j5.jbei.org), and a biology-friendly robot programming language (PR-PR,prpr.jbei.org). At TeselaGen (teselagen.com), we are furtherdeveloping these tools into a secure commercial-grade biologicaldesign automation platform that serves the needs of our industrialclients and partners. Collectively, these technologies reduce the time, effort and cost of large scale cloning and DNA assembly tasks, as well as enable research scales otherwise unfeasible without the assistance of computer-aided design tools and robotics.
