Design with Genie

Our browser-based app allows high-throughput design of plasmid DNA parts and assemblies.

Our browser-based app allows high-throughput design of plasmid DNA parts and assemblies.

Plasmid Design

Use our Part Designer tool to easily add new parts to your organization’s DNA toolkit, and our Assembly Tool to design new Golden Gate assemblies using existing parts in your DNA toolkit.

Build Instructions

Genie provides detailed DNA build instructions as well as build progress to give you full transparency into the activities of your off-site cloning team.

Batch Ordering

Genie allows you to create a batch of plasmids and place an order for the batch that our team will fulfill. Our highest priority is turn-around time.

Collaboration

Genie allows all members of an organization to view and share their DNA toolkit, promoting collaboration, allowing discoverability, and facilitating project work.

Organization

Genie provides tools to aid in organization of plasmid and sequence information, including DNA feature annotation and projects.

Genie will take your cloning to the next level.

  1. View all plasmids across your organization

Facilitate collaboration and re-use across your team by having a shared repository of plasmids. Plasmid sequences can be downloaded as Genbank files, and files can be easily re-annotated with your custom DNA features.

  1. Design new DNA toolkit parts

Our Create New Parts feature allows you to quickly add new parts to your DNA toolkit. It is built to accommodate high throughput entry of new parts.

  1. Customize design options for new parts

The Create New Parts feature is customizable, allowing you to select assembly method, restriction enzyme auto-removal, and PCR templates if available.

  1. Design new assemblies from toolkit parts

Our Create New Assemblies feature, also built to accommodate high throughput entry, allows you to select DNA parts to generate circular plasmids.

  1. See plasmid build instructions

Build instructions can be loaded for a single plasmid or group of plasmids. See all the oligos, gene fragments and PCR templates required for the build.

  1. Add new DNA features to annotate plasmids

Add as many DNA features as needed and re-annotate your plasmids for Genbank file download. Plasmids can be batch re-annotated for convenience.

  1. Create a plasmid batch to order and track

Once ready with your designs, create a group of plasmids to submit to ClutchBio for construction. After submission, visit this page to track the build progress.

  1. Get a cost estimate

For any group of plasmids, use the Calculate Batch Price Estimate to get an immediate quote for cost of construction using ClutchBio.

  1. Create new projects to organize plasmid designs

Use the Create New Project tool to add projects. These can be associated with your plasmids and plasmid batches to aid team organization and planning.
