Welcome to GIL’s documentation!

GIL is a collection of tools designed to simplify genetic engineering. This is still early in development, the future of this project is unknown and built versions may be unstable.

Features

• Allows user-created libraries to avoid rewriting code

• Automatically generates siRNAs for RNAi

• Converts a sequence of amino acids to a DNA sequence optimized for the target organism

• Converts a DNA sequence between two different organisms

Installation

Option 1: bulding from source

Download the source code and use .net 5.0 to build.

Option 2: Just download the compiled folder

Download the Compiled folder if on windows. If you’re on another platform, you’ll have to compile the source code for your OS.

I recommend adding the bin\Debug\net5.0 folder to PATH so you can access the GIL compiler from anywhere. You’ll need to restart VSCode for this to work.
