[DIYbio] Re: BioCoder : a high-level programming language for expressing biology protocols

I looked at BioCoder and based on my needs I found it insufficient. I started to develop a new standard and interface and I worked on it for several good months until I got a working beta.
I put it on hold as I was more involved with other research but I'm looking forward to complete it. If you are still interested, I would e happy to engage some form of collaboration.


Cheers,
Adrian

Hi all,
I am one of the developers of the BioCoder language. BioCoder is
essentially a C library with various functionalities included,
pertaining primarily to the field of Molecular Biology. We envision
the replacement of natural language description of protocols in
published papers with code written in BioCoder, thus making the
protocol standardized and amenable to automation and re-usability.We
are in the process of working out the release of BioCoder.

It is a widely accepted fact that most descriptions of protocols in
published papers are ambiguous and incomplete and we are unsure why
that is the case. We have come up with a survey to try and understand
the problem. It would be great if you could take this short 10-
question survey which tries to zero in on the problem. Results will be
made available on DIYbio when enough data points have been collected.

Please click on the link below to take the survey:
