In last three  years, as METU( Middle East Technical University), we had participated in IGEM as an wetlab team, year after year we saw that team number has raised  and biobricks number in partsregistry.org are increasing and becoming more complicated to choose appropriate parts, this year   during construction process of IGEM biobrick parts to build new genetic devices, we dreamed a software that finds parts interactions as an input and output model and  makes design of genetic constructs in place of us.A group of software engineers sensed our feelings and decided to help us that is story of how BIOGUIDE software appears.There are some softwares helping biobricks design, however these softwares works as an editor for designing , there is no software producing possible biobricks in your intended constructs.

Since 2008, we have been participating in iGEM as METU( Middle East Technical University) wet-lab team, and each year we have noticed the increasing number of teams participating, along with an increase in biobricks entries at partsregistry.org. While having more choices of biobricks to choose from is incredible, searching for and choosing the appropriate parts is becoming a challenge. This year during the construction process of iGEM biobrick parts for our new project, we felt the need for an application to find interacting parts based on an input/output model to design the genetic constructs. Using a specialized software for searching the parts registry to find possible biobricks to include into our construct would be much easy, fast and accurate than manual. We have shared our need with a group of friends who are software engineers, and initiated  the METU_Turkey_SOFTWARE team where we worked together over this summer to build the BIOGUIDE software.

Since 2008, we have been participating in iGEM as METU( Middle East Technical University) wet-lab team, and each year we have noticed the increasing number of teams participating, along with an increase in biobricks entries at partsregistry.org.

This year during the construction process of iGEM biobrick parts for our new project, we felt the need for an application to find interacting parts based on an input/output model to design the genetic constructs.
