Molecular Biology Software Streamlines DNA Cloning, Sequence Analysis and Visualization
Franck Perez didn't know he was going to be a software developer. Perez is a Cancer Researcher at the Curie Institute, a hospital that treats and researches cancer, in Paris, France. With a PhD in Genetics and Cell Biology, Perez's background is in Life Sciences. Perez uses his technical skills as a scientist, and his interest in understanding how things work, to create software to aid him and his colleagues to more efficiently do their jobs in the field of molecular biology.
When molecular biologists work on genes, they need to manipulate and modify DNA to prepare new DNA fragments for further use in gene and protein functional analysis. Perez and his team had been using an older application that was written in C called DNA Strider. Perez commented, "It is terrific software, but it only works on the Mac. This makes it hard to exchange files with Windows users and it does not provide any 'help for cloning' to automate certain steps when planning a construct." As a result, Perez decided to develop a small tool that would help him quickly plan a construct and that works well with DNA Strider files.
Perez created an application called Serial Cloner using REALbasic, a cross-platform software development environment from REAL Software. Serial Cloner allows researchers to manipulate, modify and prepare new DNA fragments via computer simulation before and during the cloning and sub-cloning stages. It mimics what a researcher would be doing on the bench and provides a reactive interface so they can plan and analyze cloning projects. Read more...
