Software tools

Just the start of a list -

Tool for marking parts to be included or not included in the distribution
- This might simply just be an excel spreadsheet initially of every part, how often it is used, QC info, summed size of all part pages etc.
Being able to enter parameter values into a new table
Copy and rename functionality for column sets
Auto-translation to amino acid sequence for protein tags and modifiers
An RBS strength calculator should be available on RBS and coding sequence pages.
Auto-detection of direction of protein coding sequences based on sequence
Auto-detection as to whether a protein coding sequence has a start and stop codon and therefore is complete, N-terminal half, C-terminal half or a domain; as part of this the start and stop codons could be automatically annotated in the feature list
Support for devices - allowing devices to be across multiple DNA fragments and with human-specified inputs and outputs
Sites for transcriptional regulators should be automatically identified for all promoters (and maybe other parts), add any identified sites as features to the promoters.
Auto-detection of the swissprot and kegg database references for protein coding regions
Secondary structure predictor that can show a graphic of the predicted secondary structure for a part.
- This should be done for all protein generators and terminators
A method for importing promoters (and other parts) from ecocyc (and other similar databases).
