Development, management, and deployment of algorithms for synthetic biology

Synthetic biology is at the point where we can assemble complex systems from standard parts. This assembly needs to be done in an efficient way. There exists a number of algorithms which can aid in this process. We need a way to get these algorithms to the user easily. These algorithms also need to talk to databases and talk to DNA sequence manipulation software containing information on the basic parts. The paper will discuss how this integration is done in the Clotho infrastructure and discuss the success of algorithms implemented in this framework.
