Registry/Software Changes

We are now working on the 4th generation of Registry software. We are also starting a Registry Steering Committee. Stay tuned.

Here is a disorganized list of software tasks.

• User and group management system More...
• Support for alternate assembly methods and the resulting variation in "scars" in the sequence.
  • Support for multiple sequences for a part.
• Machine readable formats for Registry contents. (e.g. XML, JSON, csv, rdf)
• Machine readable formats for part submissions. (e.g. XML, or Excel Spreadsheet)
• Provide private sandbox space for laboratories so they can keep their work hidden until it is

published.

• New interfaces to the DNA sequencing system.
• New text search engine.
• Improve part quality:
  • Part-type-specific database information (like the new protein coding region information)
  • Implementfion of the part promotion and rating system
  • Part sequencing and checking for accuracy (some software required)

• New features
  • Tools to help preparing a part for synthesis
  • GENBANK format sequence and feature input and output
  • Automatic feature finding as in APE

• New documentation under development
  • Registry Software Documentation
