Alba

ADDON. Version 0.111. Released on Unknown. Provides 49 components. Created by Ryan Hoover. Features 0 video tutorials.
Alba is a suite of tools in Rhino/Grasshopper that allows a user to visualize molecular biology and to perform genetic engineering in silico. These tools help to open the discipline of synthetic biology to creative artists, designers, and architects, allowing them to bring the insight of their respective disciplines into this powerful and rapidly-developing field.

DNA Find (Find)
Finds a sequence within a sequence and return the domain of its location.
Primer Design (Primer Des)
to find a primer with good melt temp and GC content and avoiding bad hairpins

Ligate
Ligate tests to see if 2 strands have matching sticky ends. Is sothey are joined together. If both ends connect, plasmid is set to true.
Sticky Ends (Sticky)
identifies the overhanging ends of DNA.

Digest

Enzyme List (Enzymes)
