SBOLCanvas: A Visual Editor for Genetic Designs

Abstract

Synthetic biologists often use diagrams to visualize the structure and functionality of genetic designs due to their complicated nature. The Synthetic Biology Open Language Visual (SBOLv) is a standard for these diagrams. This standard provides a set of glyphs for synthetic biology components and how they can interact. These visual designs also have a complementary data standard, the Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL), which represents the structural and functional information for genetic designs This paper describes SBOLCanvas, an updated web-based genetic design editor that can create visual diagrams using all features of SBOLv2.
