Software to help design health care products: In a first, researchers have developed a computer-aided design tool to create genetic languages to guide the design of biological systems. Known as GenoCAD, the open-source software would help synthetic biologists capture biological rules to engineer organisms that produce useful products or health-care solutions from inexpensive, renewable materials. Just like software engineers need different languages like HTML, SQL or Java to develop different kinds of software applications, synthetic biologists need languages for different biological applications, explained Jean Peccoud, an associate professor at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute.
