Short Note on Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL)

(SBOL) The Synthetic Biology Open Language is a proposed data standard for exchanging synthetic biology designs between software packages. It has been under development by the SBOL Developers Groupsince 2008. SBOL Visual was conceived and presented as an RFC in 2010, inspired by the need to represent designs in software user interfaces. SBOL Visual 1.0.0 was published as an RFC in 2013, providing a cleaner symbol set and more formalized symbol definitions via the Sequence Ontology .
