The SynBio App Selector (from http://www.iwbdaconf.org/2013/proceedings/) is a hierarchical structured web application that provides the user with an easy and intuitive way to find synthetic biology–related software. The user interface of the app consists of three different menus. These menus are rendered in the form of icons on a 3D sphere, and the user navigates them by dragging and zooming the sphere. The first of these menus displays a schematic representation of the Central Dogma of molecular biology and leads to software that works with the different molecules and processes involved. This ranges from DNA plasmid and RNA primer design to protein analysis. The other menus represent higher-order biological systems and other useful tools. A prototype of this app can be found at http://bit.ly/1qh0iQt.
