Abstract

Presented in this paper is a knowledge-based experimental design system that incorporates the domain expertise used in nucleic acid engineering, thus automating the processing of error-prone, laborious low-level work, and many decision-making steps, and guiding the biologist toward a workable plan. This allows the biologist to work at a higher abstraction level, concentrating on more fundamental, difficult and challenging problems directly related to protein structure-function relationships. Cassette-based site-directed mutagenesis and synthetic gene designs are used as examples to illustrate the utility of the knowledge-based system approach to experimental design.
