Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL)

SBOL Website: http://www.sbolstandard.org/

SBOL is designed to: Allow synthetic biologists and genetic engineers to electronically exchange designs. Send and receive genetic designs to and from biofabrication centers. Facilitate storage of genetic designs in repositories. Embed genetic designs in publications. Read more about SBOL in the introduction Find the technical details on the specification page

Development History

2009 August - October

We have divided the working group into sub-topics, each with their own "Nurturer".

• Application Scenarios -- Deepak Chandran
• Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL)
  • Core Data Model -- Raik Gruenberg
  • SBOL Script -- Doug Densmore
    • Eugene (1st pass at a human readable script)
    • Spectacles (visualization environment using SBOL Visual symbols)
  • SBOL Visual - Cesar Rodriguez and Suzie Bartram
  • SBOL Semantic -- Michal Galdzicki
• Data exchange API (programming interfaces) -- Become a Nurturer!

Further Suggestions:

• Part Sequence Annotation -- Tim?

2008 Feb - June

• PoBol: Provisional BioBrick™ Language See BBF RFC 31 (2009) [1]
