the Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL)

What is SBOL?

The Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL) can be used to represent genetic designs through a standardized vocabulary of schematic glyphs (SBOL Visual) as well as a standardized digital format (SBOL Data). SBOL is being developed by the SBOL Developer’s Group and our supporting organizations (see below). If you would like to join, please email the SBOL Editors (editors@sbolstandard.org).
