๐Ÿงฌ Just pushed new updates to #OpenCloning Assembler based on user feedback!

โœ๏ธ Now supports #GoldenBraid and Plant #MoClo

๐Ÿš€ You can edit assembly product names, view a full syntax overview, and enjoy cleaner visuals.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Try it out (link in comments) โ€” feedback welcome!

#OpenCloning is shaping up to be a really useful tool, and the new Assembler is powerful for defining and using Golden Gate syntaxes. Give it a try!

Someone requested #GoldenBraid Assembly, now it's live on #OpenCloning. Still missing the omega Level 1 assembly (coming very soon).

For GoldenBraid reference: goldenbraidpro.com and pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

I've been working with the OpenCloning Assembler with the syntax of my Open Yeast System - both the Open Yeast Collection and Yeast Protein Expression Toolkit. It is a very powerful open approach for rapidly assembling constructs when you have a library of parts. Try it with your Golden Gate system.

OpenCloning is legit

Another example of a wizard making great free tools for everyone ๐Ÿ‘

New feature to help plan Modular Cloning (Golden Gate) experiments and streamline the otherwise confusing dance of overhang compatibility and vector hopping. Gonna find some time to try this out and compare to my current SnapGene workflow. Tools all day!

My favorite tool #Opencloning.org has just released a feature for assembling golden gate cloning fragments. I have not used it **yet**, but I've used the In-Fusion tool, and that ones has worked amazingly. Give it a try! I am sure @manu-lera.bsky.social will be happy to hear from your experience.

Do you like #cloning or #MolBiol?
Do you like #OpenSource software?
Do you like keeping structured research records in a way that can also save you time and help avoid mistakes?

If you answered 'Yes' to any of the above, then check out this new update to #OpenCloning from @manu-lera.bsky.social ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿš€ Excited to launch the #OpenCloning Assembler!

๐Ÿงฌ Built to demystify Golden Gate for beginners and save time for experts -> MoClo assembly blazing fast โšก

โœ๏ธ Use existing syntaxes or design your own!

Working on a tool to define Golden Gate syntaxes for #OpenCloning. You define your syntax, and then you can drag-and-drop your plasmids in OpenCloning, they will be sorted into the right categories, and you can do combinatorial assembly. Reach out if you'd like to contribute:

OpenCloning An Open-Source web application for DNA engineering

I got a plasmid map from another lab as *.dna file ๐Ÿงช. The SnapGene program can open it. I do not want to install their "free" viewer in my linux system. The solution: OpenCloning opencloning.org . With it, I loaded the .dna file and downloaded the sequence plus a nice map. Thanks OpenCloning team ๐Ÿคฉ

If you are looking for an Open and free alternative to SnapGene, you may want to give #OpenCloning a try!
