Circuit Game
Video on How to Use Software
The following videos show how to use our software.
Game Now!
We embed this game in the webpage and you can have a try. It is regrettable that you can't send the message to us directly because of the limitation of the igem's webpage. But you can download the data following the rule and send the data to us through e-mail or facebook.

Why we design it?
Designing genetic circuits has a high bar in expertise, which might be too complicated for non-biology workers. In addition, due to the relatively small gene capacity of a regular plasmid, putting all element gene in one plasmid is very challenging even for experts.
So another part of software is for public to design the product like playing a computer game. Users will feel comfortable to use the brief user interface by dragging the elements of the circuit and combining them freely on the computer to build their own bio-products, which really solves the problems close to our life, as well as stimulating new ideas about synthetic biology. As soon as the circuits from the game software are uploaded, they will be automatically programmed through 3D printing machine. The public can confirm the feasibility of the design without engaging the experiments by themselves. Finally, users will get the results of their designs, as well as suggestion on how to improve their circuits. We implement the non-biologists’idea by using the user interface and auto 3D printing program, which improving public participation in synthetic biology and instructing us to perfect our project. In summary, our software not only directly interacts with users, but also can achieve self-improvement. Together with hardware, it ensure non-biologists to realize their synthetic biology dream
Our software are used in Human Practice's Workshop and receive good response. For more details, you can see here
