Lab automation has facilitated synthetic biology applications in an automated workflow, and biofoundry facilities have enabled automated high-throughput experiments of gene cloning and genome engineering to be conducted following a precise experimental design and protocol. However, beforeexperiment procedures in biofoundry applications have been underdetermined. We aimed to develop a Python-based planningassistant software, namely Biofoundry Palette, for liquid handlerbased experimentation and operation in the biofoundry workflow. Depending on the synthetic biology project, variable information and content information may vary; the Biofoundry Palette provides precise information for the before-experiment units for each process module in the biofoundry workflow. As a demonstration, more than 200 unique information sets, generated by Biofoundry Palette, were used in automated gene cloning or pathway construction. The information on planning and management can potentially help the operator faithfully execute the biofoundry workflow after securing the before-experiment unit, thereby lowering the risk of human errors and performing successful biofoundry operations for synthetic biology applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
