GSL (Genotype Specification Language) is a programming language developed by Amyris for the rapid design of high level DNA components. GSL is an open-source project, written in F# and is available on Git here.
This GSL Editor extension provides an interface to execute GSL code within the Genetic Constructor, and render the results as block constructs. It currently supports the S288C, BY4741 and BY4742 genomes. To use a specific genome in your GSL code, preceed your code with a valid #refgenome statement (eg. To refer to genes from the S288C genome, use #refgenome S288C). More information on the GSL syntax here.
Install the module dependencies via npm.
npm install
For a debuggable, non minified build run
npm run debug
Or, or for a minified production build run
npm run release
This will build the client into ./dist/index.js.
For fast development, use...
npm run watch
This builds the debug version of the client (./dist/index.js) and continues to watch the project for changes, recompiling on all changes.
It is recommended that you use npm link as documented here for faster development.
This consists of a stand-alone client package compiled into the Genetic Constructor application.
To learn more about the Genotype Specification Language, you could look at the documentation here or in the GSL respository here.
