Golden Gate and Modular Cloning (MoClo), two powerful technologies enabling the scale-up of cloning workflows, play a central role for efficient circuit construction. These workflows include a number of dry-lab tasks, which are time-consuming and error-prone at scale. Currently, no software tool is available to handle these tasks in a dedicated, time-saving, and user-friendly manner. We present InSillyClo, an open-source web application to assist large-scale Golden Gate cloning and MoClo workflows. It supports an easy specification of genetic designs at any scale, followed by the automated generation of comprehensive workflow-related data. Moreover, InSillyClo leverages Modular Cloning with a versatile typing system of parts to generate user-defined workflows. InSillyClo is open source, accessible with or without user registration, and can also be used locally.\nCompeting Interest Statement\nThe authors have declared no competing interest.\nAbbreviations\n- MoClo\n- Modular Cloning\n- YTK\n- Yeast Tool Kit\n- TU\n- Transcriptional Unit\n- iP\n- input Plasmid\n- oP\n- output Plasmid\n- SBOL\n- Synthetic Biology Open Language","source_license":"CC-BY-4.0","license_restricted":false}
