Free software helps plant labs track hundreds of DNA tools across projects

PubMed · 2026-07-01

Researchers built PlasmiDB, a free web-based tool that helps plant biology labs track hundreds of DNA constructs across multiple users and projects, preserving the full history of how each construct was made and shared.

1

PlasmiDB manages nearly 700 plasmids in production use, tracking full construction genealogy and inter-laboratory transfer history.

2

The system uses a LAMP stack with Docker deployment, making it installable by any lab without requiring custom database schema changes.

3

A dedicated gene module links each genetic target to its associated plasmids, primers, and CRISPR reagents in a single coherent record.
