SynBioWave MileStones

• Last year our team laid the foundation for SynBioWave. They started the development of the first version of SynBioWave extending Google wave.

• It was quite challenging yet interesting to work on a new platform like Google Wave. We had to check various options in the software development (Robots, Gadgets etc.) to make SynBioWave more user-friendly and yet running efficiently.

• We chose the option of building the mixture of Robot and Gadgets and not depending on only one technology. So we created a main SynBioWave Robot which can further be extended by Add-on Robots and used Gadgets in various user-friendly outputs like various views of Sequences (linear or circular etc) or menus.

• We then focused on building the software suite which will let even other developers extend and personalize this idea in the form of Add-On robots easily.

• We created a special wave which will hold all the sequences and act as a workspace in the project. This was a huge leap in our development. It made sequence handling in program easier. It also paved the way to clean and modular development and use of SynBioWave.
