What is GenoCAD? GenoCAD is an open source web-based system that
provides a streamlined, rule-driven process for designing plasmids,
gene expression systems, or artificial gene networks. GenoCAD provides
a graphical interface allowing users to design sequences consistent
with formalized strategies specific to a domain, organization, or
project. Design strategies include limited sets of user-defined parts
and rules indicating how these parts are to be combined in genetic
constructs. In addition to reducing design time to minutes, GenoCAD
improves the quality and reliability of the finished sequence by
ensuring that the designs follow established rules of sequence
construction. GenoCAD.org is a publicly available instance of GenoCAD
that can be found at www.genocad.org. The source code is available
from SourceForge to allow advanced users to install and customize
GenoCAD for their unique needs.

Tutorial: This is a hands-on tutorial that will be broken down into
two sessions. During the first session, the students will use
GenoCAD's parts management system to build a library of parts that
they will use to design several genetic constructs. The first session
also includes an overview of GenoCAD's SBML-based simulation tool.

The second session focuses on more advanced features of the
application. We will introduce the search engine to retrieve specific
parts from large parts libraries. We will show how the design
management tool allows users to quickly make several variants of a
plasmid. Finally, we will show how to use the grammar editor to
customize the design rules associated with a specific project.

Target Audience: Biologists who design plasmids for their research
projects. Computational biologists and bioinformatics specialists
interested in identifying opportunities to collaboration opportunities
with experimentalists

Location: Matas Library Mezzanine Lab (207). Attendees must enter on
the 2nd floor entrance to go downstairs to the Mezzanine Lab. Click
