Description
Hey there, iGEMers! Are you still looking for information of biobricks? Are you still having difficulty in finding
references of former teams? Are you still feeling hard to design your biobricks? Don’t worry now,BioDesigner
Dolphin can do this for you!
Why Biodesigner Dolphin?
First of all, let me tell you a story. Emma who is new to iGEM and her teammates are interested in social behaviors
of bacteria, and they determined to build a system modeling human society to deal with grease existing in the
polluted water. What they first thought about was the decomposition of grease. But to enrich their project, they
wanted to know more about sewage treatment. So, they looked into wikis on the official website under “Environment”
track, which was a long and exhausting process, and picked out some projects related to greas. Then it suddenly
came to their minds that grease could be synthesized to biodiesel, which is typical of “Energy” track. And this
means they would have to look into wikis again which made them feel really upset.
They thought of getting inspiration from Google. However, when they googled “grease”, they got this：
and this：
I think Emma won’t love Google anymore.
One of the highlights of this year’s BioDesigner Dolphin is that we expanded the teams provided by the official and added information retrieval for teams’ wikis. Take Emma and her teammates as an example. They don’t have to surf wikis under “Energy” and “Environment” any longer. What they should do is to type “grease” in the searching box of BioDesigner Dolphin and they will get what they want.
Furthermore, as a pure iGEM assistant software, BioDesigner Dolphin can provide information which is much cleaner and tidier than Google’s. Users don’t have to worry about advertisements and unrelated news. Actually, there are many search engines like BioDesigner Dolphin in other fields such as ncbi in medical research and so on. And the searching function of BioDesigner Dolphin is a proprietary searching engine designed for wikis of iGEM.

Applications
of BioDesigner Dolphin
You are free to search for team and biobrick information. Searching for teams under certain tracks Participants or
any combination of tracks is also available. You will only be shown teams which are under the selected tracks.
Selecting no tracks means searching in all teams. What’s more, once a team is chosen, recommended teams, which
is similar to this one, will appear on the right of the screen. The recommendation is based on how much two teams
are related according to their content and themes.
Guess what, you will find a big surprise in the design panel of BioDesigner Dolphin, especially for those who have
problem designing parts. In the designing panel, you can devise your own parts in three steps: Drag, and Drop,
and Done. Once a part is selected, the detailed information will appear on the right. After a part is set, you
will get recommended parts that are most likely to be added behind or ahead of this part.
