How to represent random sequence elements in SBOL?
In our lab, we work with synthetic biology components with partially random sequences (similar to work in directed evolution). So, for example, we have a plasmid design with several components, ...

In SBOL, is there a way to distinguish biological replicates?
I have a library of biological implementations (i.e. plasmids) of genetic circuits and their experimental data associated. I want to implement an in silico version with SBOL, but to be consistent with ...

Is there a good practice (or an easy one for a SBOL newbie) to set up a collection of biological parts and devices?
I have a collection of biological parts and devices in a particular format that basically stores information of the sequence of the elements. My intention is to move to a more standardized data ...

In SBOL, when should I annotate a DNA sequence vs. making sub-components?
When representing a DNA sequence in SBOL as a ComponentDefinition, you can mark things like promoters and coding sequences in two different ways:
either as a ...

Why does SBOL have both Component and ComponentDefinition?
What is the point of having both a Component and a ComponentDefinition in SBOL? Shouldn't you be able to link straight from one component to its sub-components?
The same question goes for Module and ...
