1. The “Search the Registry” should have an option to BLAST any sequence against the total set of sequences in the registry.  I think this will require a table of all the registry sequences in flat-file format compatible with BLAST. With this function, someone with a gene of interest might be able to find it (or a close homolog) among the BioBricks even if its annotations are confusing or absent. (11/29/06)

Registry “Issues”/Agenda

Scott C. Mohr (11/29/06)

1. The “Search the Registry” should have an option to BLAST any sequence against the total set of sequences in the registry. I think this will require a table of all the registry sequences in flat-file format compatible with BLAST. With this function, someone with a gene of interest might be able to find it (or a close homolog) among the BioBricks even if its annotations are confusing or absent. (11/29/06)



(Suggested) Registry Style Sheet

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)


I’m putting my preferences down here and encourage people to use them – or give me a hard time about why something different is better. Note that Emerson did not say “consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds” (as the quotation is so often reported). Only a foolish consistency!


Capitalization


BioBricks

Escherichia coli (genus name capitalized, species name not capitalized, both written in Italics).

Hyphenation

single-stranded/double-stranded

Italics

e.g.

E. coli, also Escherichia coli
