Constraints Repository

Aim:

Develop a system that will be a repository of constraints that specify the way biological components can be assembled, and the parameters that describe their interactions.

Components of a biological circuit can only be combined in ways which make biological sense. Much of this information is available in publications and public databases, but these are distributed worldwide and do not necessarily have compatible formats. The information therefore needs to be stored and described somewhere which is accessible to the rest of the projects, in a single, coherent form.
