SBOL Designer

SBOL designer allows you to visualize SBOL designs using SBOL visual icons, edit SBOL designs in a GUI, import DNA components from an SBOL parts registry, and save your design an SBOL RDF/XML file.

SBOL Designer can be used either as a standalone program or a as a Geneious plugin.

Running SBOL Designer stand-alone

SBOL designer requires Java 6 or later to be installed on your computer. To run SBOL designer, simply double click the jar file. If your OS does not support running Java applications by double clicking, you can run the designer from command-line by using the java -jar <jarFileName> command at a terminal where jarFileName will be the name of the SBOL Designer jar file you downloaded.

Using SBOL Designer plugin in Geneious

SBOL Designer plugin has been tested with Geneious 5.5 and later. To install the plugin, start Geneious, go to Tools->Plugins menu option, click "Install plugin from a gplugin file" and select the SBOL designer gplugin file. The plugin will be ready to use immediately.

If you download a newer version of the plugin at a later time you can follow the same steps and the new version of the plugin will replace the old version.
