| The method of research and experimentation in biological sciences is evolving very fast. Fluid handling robots and on-demand biology enterprises are automating biological experiments as an alternative to traditional manual protocol execution. There are various new high-level languages like Autoprotocols and Antha which allow for automation of protocol execution. These languages offer various benefits to the user like high-throughput experimentation, rapid prototyping and improved reproducibility of results. However, learning these new languages to automate protocols is not a trivial task for a non-computer scientist and using multiple languages can burden the user, as different languages are compatible with proprietary hardware platforms. To overcome this, we have developed an open-source web-based visual editor called BioBlocks for describing experimental protocols in biology. It is a visual high-level programming language which requires little or no programming knowledge to automate the execution of protocols locally or remotely i.e. in the cloud. BioBlocks allows the users to define complex experiments such as turbidostats and chemostats in a modular fashion. The experiments can saved, modified and shared between multiple users to execute on compatible platforms hence improving the reproducibility of their research. | |
