Templates

Start from proven genetic circuit designs instead of a blank canvas. Clone a template into your project and customize it.

Browsing templates

Navigate to Templates from the dashboard navigation. Templates are organized by difficulty (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and category (expression, sensing, logic gates, tools).

Using a template

Click Use Template on any card. Nuclex will look up the real parts referenced by the template, create a new design in your default project, and populate it with the correct circuit elements. You can then open the design in the editor and modify it freely.

Available templates

The library includes 15+ templates such as:

• IPTG-Inducible GFP (beginner)
• Constitutive RFP (beginner)
• Tet-OFF Toggle Switch (intermediate)
• T7 Expression System (intermediate)
• CRISPR Guide RNA Expression (intermediate)
• AND Gate (advanced)
• Kill Switch (advanced)
• Golden Gate Assembly Demo (beginner)

Each template includes a suggested backbone and an AI prompt you can use to explore variations.
