TEAM ALBERTA

The Plasmid Designer

The plasmid designer gives students and researchers the ability to design and validate their plasmids in in silico. Through an intuitive drag and drop interface, users can piece their plasmids together BioByte by BioByte. During this, the program provides feedback. It can check whether the desired plasmid will circularize properly. The presence of a selectable marker and an origin of replication is also checked. The user can see the resulting annotated sequence of the plasmid as it is being built.

Part Graphics

In order to make the interface as intuitive as possible, icon graphics were chosen that would provide clear visual feedback of the key structures and functional sequences present on the plasmid.

The A and B Ends

An 'AB' Part
A 'BA' Part

Origins of Replication

Promoters

A promoter followed by a ribosome binding site and a start codon

Ribosome Binding Sites

Start and Stop Codons

A stop codon followed by a ribosome binding site and a start codon

Transcriptional Terminators

A stop codon followed by a transcriptional terminator
