Upload your sequence 


 

The Biomodule Designer allows you to upload your DNA sequences in FASTA or GenBank format. Alternatively, you can type in your sequence and assign a name to your new Biomodule.

Information about your Biomodule


Once created, we will automatically associate your Biomodules with:

    • a Part ID: a seven-character code identifying univocally your new Biomodule
    • a Sequence Name
For the sequence name, please note that:
    • If you uploaded your sequence in GenBank format, it will be automatically renamed as the locus name reported in the gb.file.
    • If you uploaded your sequence in FASTA format, it will be automatically renamed  as reported in the first line of the corresponding FASTA file.
