GenoCAD is one of the earliest computer assisted design tools for synthetic biology.〔 The software is a bioinformatics tool developed and maintained by (GenoFAB ). GenoCAD facilitates the design of protein expression vectors, artificial gene networks and other genetic constructs for genetic engineering and is based on the theory of formal languages.〔 GenoCAD can be used online at (www.genocad.com ). ==History== GenoCAD originated as an offshoot of an attempt to formalize functional constraints of genetic constructs using the theory of formal languages. In 2007, the website genocad.org (now retired) was set up as a proof of concept by researchers at Virginia Bioinformatics Institute, Virginia Tech. Using the website, users could design genes by repeatedly replacing high-level genetic constructs with lower level genetic constructs, and eventually with actual DNA sequences.〔 On August 31, 2009, the National Science Foundation granted a three-year $1,421,725 grant to Dr. Jean Peccoud, an associate professor at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech, for the development of GenoCAD.〔 〕 GenoCAD was and continues to be developed by GenoFAB, a company founded by Peccoud (currently CSO and acting CEO), who was also one of the authors of the originating study.〔 Source code for GenoCAD was originally released on Sourceforge in December 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://sourceforge.net/p/genocad/code/commit_browser )〕 GenoCAD version 2.0 was released in November 2011 and included the ability to simulate the behavior of the designed genetic code. This feature was a result of a collaboration with the team behind COPASI. In April, 2015, Peccoud and colleagues published a library of biological parts, called GenoLIB, that can be incorporated into the GenoCAD platform.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GenoCAD」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
