Installation

pip install synbiopython

To install the latest version from Github:

pip install git+https://github.com/Global-Biofoundries-Alliance/SynBioPython

Currently Python 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 are supported.

Usage

You should now be able to run this in Python:

import synbiopython
print(synbiopython.__version__)

Currently, there are three modules implemented:

• The genbabel module provides standard file parsers and for working with multiple fileformats.
• The codon module provides support for codon optimisation.
• The lab automation module enables working with plates and generation of picklists (transfers) for liquid handlers.

Examples

Example Jupyter notebooks are provided for each module: codon, genbabel and lab automation. In order to open these notebooks, download and install JupyterLab.
