Database
In order to support our software, we collected about 3600 device chains for analysis. All these devices’ information are stored in our database. Besides, we analyze the associate relationship between biobricks in these chains, and these associate relationship information are also stored in our database. We shared this database with developers who want to use these information for analyzing. The detailed API for database could be found
Symbols for Biobricks
When implementing our software, we want to visualize the designed device. Since each biobrick in Registry have a type, the biobricks with the same type should be visualized with the same symbols. Hence, we extracted the type information from Registry database, and compared them with the type information listed by Registry and SBOLv. Table 1 shows the results.

We choose SBOLv symbols to represent the biobricks. As some types in Registry are actually device, such as Reporter, Generator, DNA, etc, these types are represented with the same symbol.
