  Synthetic biology researches are based on standardized biological parts, and the scientists should explore various metabolism databases to design their own devices or circuits. However, it is hard for researchers to design a proper biochemical pathway due to a considerable amount of data available on the Internet. Korea U Seoul, therefore, developed a web application ‘Gil’, which means “path” or “road” in Korean. This software is a spin-off version of ‘<a href="http://ipnn.korea.ac.kr/">IPNN</a>’ . A researcher can search which set of reactions or genes is required to conduct a successful experiment.</p><p>

                          The ‘Gil’ is able to calculate the increase and decrease of the number of ATP, NADH, NADPH, and CO2, and provide the maximum three output paths, respectively.

These information helps people find the most plausible de novo pathway just like Google Maps.

Survey on Open Research and Synthetic Biology

The main goal of our human practice was to introduce Synthetic biology to as many people as we could, regardless of their major. We introduced our program "Gil", along with its application in the scientific research field. Prior to the seminar, aiming to understand people's level of knowledge, we carried out a survey. In order to get reliable data, our sample for the survey varied from people with no prior knowledge of synthetic biology to those majoring in this field. The survey included information regarding one's background knowledge on synthetic biology, project 'Gil's appliances and about synthetic biology, especially related to 'Open network' and 'Open Data'. In this competition, our team focuses on 'Open Data, Open Source, Open Access' as our project 'Gil' aims to open information.

Prior to the survey, our team wanted not only the data collected from the survey but an opportunity for people to know about Synthetic biology and our project. Therefore, the survey contained questions of background knowledge on Open data and synthetic biology while still using vocabulary and definitions easy enough for people with no prior knowledge on this field to understand.
