SBOL was developed for both software developers and biologists working in a wet lab. Scientists working in wet labs can store their genetic parts and construct designs in repositories supported by SBOL to allow easy sharing.
SBOL has been under development since 2008 by the SBOL Developers Group which is composed of experimental and computational synthetic biologists from academic, governmental and commercial groups.
The format is composed of genetic vocabulary terms which are called SBOL Data and schematic glyphs called SBOL Visual that depict genetic designs graphically.
