Re: [DIYbio] Arcturus BioCloud

Hi Brave,

Thanks so much for your kind words. We totally agree with you. We are beginning to explore how this tradeoff can be evaluated so we don't oversimplify the reality at some point that the system cant work.

At this point we are in an early startup stage, so we dont offer analytical capabilities yet. We offer the power of assembly combinations in a modular way. In this way you get access to low cost variables of your constructions, using standard promoters and rbs with different strong. So you can regulate the expression using this basic design. Then we send you the construction so you can test it and use your analytical resources. We are beginning to discuss some interesting applications as implement a sort of system to evaluate protein-protein interaction in a automated way and to try to produce a insulin open source (which is not so easy but could be pretty interesting. You can join us in the discussion forum and be part of the discussion.

thanks,

Hi Andres,

I like your concepts and the effort you guys have put in it.

Capabilities ,analytical tech and volume you can transfer though are essential part of what we need to understand in order to use your platform for experimental purposes.
Actions as trivial as "building a biosensor" depends heavily on parameters mentioned by Nathan in the previous post.
Moreover such "high abstraction" platoform would be gratily welcomed as soon as isn't going to over simplify molecular work till the point you don't understand anymore what you're doing at such a microscale. Eventually every A,T,G or C is gonna impact deeply our experiments.

Looking forward for an exhaustive reply.


Best,
Fede

Hi Nathan,

The platform will have a list of genes you can use, from the library we are building, sort by function or role in the circuit you want to build, also the microorganisms in which you can put your assembly. But we wont get into details like volumes that you can transfer or technical details about protocols. We focus more in the functions that you can build (biosensor) or the whole experiment (directed evolution) instead of protocol details. We are developing a high abstraction platform for user with or without experience, so we don´t want them to worry about this and use their time more in the design of the biological function.

Please if you have more doubts or want to talk more about any related topic, you can write to my company mail d...@arcturus.io. Everybody call me don, but my name is Andres Ochoa. 

thanks,

When you say next version, do you mean you're going to have a list of capabilities, analytical techniques, volumes for transfer equipment, etc...?
