Show HN: Pinecone – Build your own genetically encoded tools

Justin here, cofounder of Serotiny. We've built a web-app to make the design and organization of synthetic genetic constructs efficient, cheap and effective. We've built an abstraction layer to enable scientists to build novel genetic designs from functional units without worrying about the actual underlying DNA sequence or how the sequence gets manufactured. Once designed, we help you place an order for DNA from a synthesizer of your choice.

The app is free to use - go ahead and register. We charge 15% of the manufacturing cost once an order is placed. Design single protein constructs, or high-throughput combinatorial sets of proteins or mutation sets. [1]

Our genetic management infrastructure makes it straightforward to see where particular designs came from and how they've been used. It straightforwardly keeps track of the functions and restrictions of each design. For groups/labs we have an API that can respond to queries relating various protein constructs by things like function, sequence, or usage. [2]

Check it out, I'd be curious your thoughts. I'm happy to answer any questions. We built it all with Go and Ember - a huge thanks to those in the community working on those tools.

What a world we live in. Being able to design proteins online and have them synthesized. Well done!
