Organisms with designer genomes promise to provide fuels, medicines, diagnostics, and food for our civilization. Multiple design choices are informed by biological data, and semantic web technology can empower these choices.
Tools for genome design must be continuously updatable from growing databases, must use standard portable and automatable file formats, must be scalable to the size of entire genomes, and must facilitate queryable alignments of phenotype with sequence data.
To develop a genome design ontology that allows multiple software tools and workflows to share data. This ontology could be linked from current ontologies describing sequence features, genetic components, DNA construction, and phenotype.
