Currently, most circuits are designed through the assembly of models of individual parts such as promoters, ribosome binding sites and coding sequences. These low level models are combined to produce a dynamic model of a larger device that exhibits a desired behaviour. The larger model then acts as a blueprint for physical implementation at the DNA level. However, the conversion of models of complex genetic circuits into DNA sequences is a non-trivial undertaking due to the complexity of mapping the model parts to their physical manifestation. Automating this process is further hampered by the lack of computationally tractable information in most models.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We describe a method for automatically generating DNA sequences from dynamic models implemented in CellML and Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML). We also identify the metadata needed to annotate models to facilitate automated conversion, and propose and demonstrate a method for the markup of these models using RDF. Our algorithm has been implemented in a software tool called MoSeC.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability: The software is available from the authors' web site http:\/\/research.ncl.ac.uk\/synthetic_biology\/downloads.html.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0anil.wipat@ncl.ac.uk<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btr048","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,5]],"date-time":"2011-02-05T01:12:51Z","timestamp":1296868371000},"page":"973-979","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Model annotation for synthetic biology: automating model to nucleotide sequence conversion"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Goksel","family":"Misirli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 School of Computing Science, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, 2Auckland Bioengineering Institute, The University of Auckland, New Zealand and 3European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, UK"}]},{"given":"Jennifer S.","family":"Hallinan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 School of Computing Science, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, 2Auckland Bioengineering Institute, The University of Auckland, New Zealand and 3European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, UK"}]},{"given":"Tommy","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 School of Computing Science, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, 2Auckland Bioengineering Institute, The University of Auckland, New Zealand and 3European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, UK"}]},{"given":"James R.","family":"Lawson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 School of Computing Science, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, 2Auckland Bioengineering Institute, The University of Auckland, New Zealand and 3European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, UK"}]},{"given":"Sarala M.","family":"Wimalaratne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 School of Computing Science, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, 2Auckland Bioengineering Institute, The University of Auckland, New Zealand and 3European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, UK"}]},{"given":"Michael T.","family":"Cooling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 School of Computing Science, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, 2Auckland Bioengineering Institute, The University of Auckland, New Zealand and 3European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, UK"}]},{"given":"Anil","family":"Wipat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 School of Computing Science, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, 2Auckland Bioengineering Institute, The University of Auckland, New Zealand and 3European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, UK"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012512170836600_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"619","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmb.2005.10.076","article-title":"Environmentally controlled invasion of cancer cells by engineered bacteria","volume":"355","author":"Anderson","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
