• By combining genetic sequences one after the other we can build new genetic software that can teach cells to do new things.

• There are different types of genetic parts (BioBricks) with different grammatical meanings.

• The most commonly used repositories for genetic parts are the iGEM registry and addgene.

• The Molecula Maxima development platform adheres to the iGEM registry conventions.

• BioBrick Ids are part of the language. A double click on a BioBrick Id will reveal its raw DNA sequence and a right click will open its documentation page.

• By clicking ctrl-space in the editor, a list of available genetic annotations will pop up (e.g. promoter(…)). An additional ctrl-space inside the parenthesis will open another browseable pop-up window with all available genetic parts for that specific category.
