Analysis

Goal

Existing solutions consist of disconnected tools for the various stages of the genetic design process. Their underlying data structures aren't unified resulting in high costs and error rates. Our goal was to penetrate the high-end market of genetic design software with a unified solution for the complete genetic design life cycle.

Strategy

Design a suite of connected tools leveraging unified datasets, rich 3D visualizations, and machine learning.
