Strains

Streptomyces.org Links to resources including StrepDB and a free download of the Streptomyces manual.

BacDive (The Bacterial Diversity Metadatabase) The world’s largest database for standardized bacterial information. Look up your strain, its morphology, culture and growth condition, DNA sequence accessions, chemotaxonomic features etc.

Formerly PNU (Prokaryotic Nomenclature Up-to-date) LPSN (List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature). Used to check the nomenclature/taxonomic standing of your strain.

MediaDive The world's largest collection of cultivation media. Your own media can be added and could be a first step in standardisation of bioassay data reportings.

StrainInfo Provides a resolution of microbial strain identifiers by storing culture collection numbers, their relations between strain collections, and culture-associated data.

Synthetic biology

De Novo DNA Use for calculating RBS and promoter strengths, and also provides predictions on mRNA stability (note: now requires payment to use).

DNA Chisel Python library for optimising DNA sequences with respect to a set of constraints and optimization objectives.
