Reclone Community Meeting on Jul 16th at 14:00 UTC ✨

Hello Reclone Community :wave:

You’re all invited to our Community Meeting later this month, on 2025-07-16T14:00:00Z. This will be another slightly longer session (up to 1.5h) as we have two talks scheduled!

For our first talk, we will hear from Manu Lera-Ramirez @manulera (University College London, UK), presenting about OpenCloning, an Open Source web application for DNA engineering design that supports automation and integration with research software.

OpenCloning is an Open-Source web application to plan and document cloning and genome engineering. It allows researchers to design a cloning strategy through an intuitive web interface or programmatically, and provides a standardised data model to represent cloning strategies. Researchers can: import plasmid and genome sequences; plan cloning and design primers; plan strain and cell line engineering via CRISPR and homologous recombination; automate repetitive cloning and primer design; and much more.

Stay tuned and we’ll post the title and abstract to our second talk later on this week.

Feel free to invite and share news to others in your networks who might be interested :star_struck:

You can also check our previous meetings at Events – Reagent Collaboration Network or via the Reclone YouTube channel.
Likewise, you can see the Upcoming Events on the Reclone Calendar, tell us you’re Interested/Going, and add these to your own calendar.

See you all at the meeting!

Unlike commercial alternatives, OpenCloning uses the first ever Open Data Model to represent cloning strategies, and supports integration with research software.

For instance, they already have a working integration with an Electronic Lab Notebook.

You can access OpenCloning for free online at or run your own instance locally.
