Abstract
AbstractDNA constructs and their annotated sequence maps have been rapidly accumulating with the advancement of DNA cloning, synthesis, and assembly methods. Such resources have also been utilized in designing and building new DNA materials. However, as commonly seen in the life sciences, no framework exists to describe reproducible DNA construction processes. Furthermore, the use of previously developed DNA materials and building protocols is usually not appropriately credited. Here, we report a framework QUEEN (framework to generate quinable and efficiently editable nucleotide sequence resources) to resolve these issues and accelerate the building of DNA. QUEEN enables the flexible design of new DNA by using existing DNA material resource files and recording its construction process in an output file (GenBank file format). A GenBank file generated by QUEEN can regenerate the process code such that it perfectly clones itself and bequeaths the same process code to its successive GenBank files, recycling its partial DNA resources. QUEEN-generated GenBank files are compatible with existing DNA repository services and software. We propose QUEEN as a solution to start significantly advancing the material and protocol sharing of DNA resources.
