BioPartsBuilder: a synthetic biology tool for combinatorial assembly of biological parts.

ABSTRACT:

Unlabelled

Combinatorial assembly of DNA elements is an efficient method for building large-scale synthetic pathways from standardized, reusable components. These methods are particularly useful because they enable assembly of multiple DNA fragments in one reaction, at the cost of requiring that each fragment satisfies design constraints. We developed BioPartsBuilder as a biologist-friendly web tool to design biological parts that are compatible with DNA combinatorial assembly methods, such as Golden Gate and related methods. It retrieves biological sequences, enforces compliance with assembly design standards and provides a fabrication plan for each fragment.

Availability and implementation

BioPartsBuilder is accessible at http://public.biopartsbuilder.org and an Amazon Web
