Eugene--a domain specific language for specifying and constraining synthetic biological parts, devices, and systems.
<h4>Background</h4>Synthetic biological systems are currently created by an ad-hoc, iterative process of specification, design, and assembly. These systems would greatly benefit from a more formalized and rigorous specification of the desired system components as well as constraints on t...
