FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our design services.

What design formats do you support?

We support all major biological data standards including SBOL 3.0, SBML, GenBank, FASTA, and standard spreadsheet formats. All designs are delivered with comprehensive documentation and assembly instructions.

How accurate are the circuit simulations?

Our circuit simulations use validated models calibrated with experimental data. Prediction accuracy varies by circuit type, but we typically achieve good qualitative agreement and reasonable quantitative predictions for well-characterized parts. We always recommend experimental validation of critical designs.

Can you integrate with our existing workflow?

Yes, our design platform supports integration with standard lab information systems and electronic lab notebooks. We can work with your existing part libraries, strain collections, and design conventions. API access is available for custom integrations.

What biological hosts do you support?

We support design for all major microbial hosts including E. coli, Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris, and CHO cells. Our models incorporate host-specific parameters for improved predictions. Contact us for other host organisms.

Do you offer custom ML model development?

Yes, we can develop custom machine learning models tailored to your specific biological system and design requirements. This includes transfer learning from our existing models, new model training with your data, and model deployment for ongoing use.

How do you protect IP and confidential designs?

We take confidentiality seriously. All project information is protected under NDA. Your designs and data are never shared with other clients or used for any purpose other than your project. We maintain strict data security protocols and can work within your existing IP protection frameworks.

What is the typical turnaround time?

Turnaround varies by project complexity. Standard designs like promoter libraries or sgRNA design typically complete within 1-2 weeks. Complex circuit design or metabolic pathway design may take 3-4 weeks. Rush services are available for time-sensitive projects.

Can you design multi-gene pathways?

Yes, we specialize in multi-gene pathway design. Our tools handle retrosynthesis for complex metabolites, heterologous pathway assembly planning, and optimization for balanced expression across multiple genes. We consider thermodynamic constraints, codon usage, and promoter compatibility.
