Description

WEB BASED VECTOR DESIGN
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates generally to computer methods and systems for acquiring, storing, manipulating, analyzing, displaying and interacting with information relating to vector design and construction, for linking such elements of vector design to other information, such as information in RNAi databases, and for storing, retrieving, manipulating, analyzing, displaying, and interacting with the linked information for purposes of designing and purchasing a virus vector.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Computational methods and systems are essential in virtually every area of human endeavor. Often, the limits of a computational system define abilities to acquire, manipulate, analyze, understand or utilize information. This effect is becoming increasingly important in many areas of biochemical research, such as genomics research and research on gene expression. Many computational methods and systems have been developed in these areas and help researchers identify a gene, or genes, implicated in a specific disease and have lead to the development of innovative therapies.
Gene therapy is a scientific discipline devoted to the development of therapies wherein one or more genes, anti-sense, RNAi, or an equivalent agent, (i.e., "biomolecule") is delivered to a mammal by way of a vector. When a biomolecule and vector are designed correctly and introduced into the mammal, the vector construct has been shown to alleviate disease. Many vectors are available to enable the delivery of biomolecules such as plasmids, adenovirus, retrovirus, and lentivirus. However, the expert in the specific therapeutic field such as oncology, diabetes, or asthma, who has identified a biomolecule able to alleviate the affects of disease, is not an expert in the field of virology and designing a vector for delivering one or more biomolecules into a mammal. Therefore, there is a tremendous need to provide computational methods and systems to facilitate design of vector constructs, that is, the combination of a virus vector and a biomolecule. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to meet the foregoing needs by providing methods and systems enabling the design of vector constructs and that allow researchers to easily design and/or purchase one or more vector(s) on-line using a web based system.
One embodiment of the present invention is a method in a computer system for generating a graphic display for visualization of one or more vector construct(s). This method comprises: providing an area for the insertion of a nucleic acid sequence of a biomolecule; placing the nucleic acid sequence of a biomolecule into the area; inserting the nucleic acid sequence of a biomolecule into a vector, wherein the placement of the nucleic acid sequence of a biomolecule into the vector creates a theoretical functional vector construct; and purchasing the theoretical functional vector construct on the graphic display. The vectors used in the methods of the present invention may be a plasmid, virus, or other construct, but preferably is a lentivirus. The biomolecule used in the methods of the present invention is a genetic element including, but not limited to: a gene, RNAi, promoter, enhancer element, reporter gene, selection gene, envelope protein, or any combination thereof. It is also preferred that the methods of the present invention generate a graphic display wherein a click agreement is viewed by an operator of the computer system prior to purchasing the theoretical functional vector. Another embodiment of the present invention is a method in a computer system for generating a graphic display for visualization of one or more vector construct(s), comprising: providing a first area for the insertion of a nucleic acid sequence of a gene; placing the nucleic acid sequence of a gene into the first area; inserting the nucleic acid sequence of a gene into a vector, wherein the placement of the nucleic acid sequence of a gene into the vector creates a theoretical functional vector construct; and purchasing the theoretical functional vector construct observed on the graphic display. This method may comprise a second area or more, for the insertion of one or more biomolecules into the vector.
Another embodiment of the present invention is a method in a computer system for generating a graphic display for visualization of one or more vector construct(s), comprising: providing a first area for the insertion of a nucleic acid sequence of a RNAi; placing the nucleic acid sequence of a RNAi into the first area; inserting the nucleic acid sequence of a RNAi into a vector, wherein the placement of the nucleic acid sequence of a RNAi into the vector creates a theoretical functional vector construct; and purchasing the theoretical functional vector construct on the graphic display. It is preferable that the RNAi is a shRNA or a micro RNA. This methods of the present invention may comprise a second area, or more (such as a third area, fourth area, fifth area, etc.), for the insertion of one or more biomolecules (the first biomolecule in the first area, the second biomolecule into the second area, the third biomolecule into the third area, etc., or any combination thereof).
