Recent advances in DNA cloning and synthesis technologies afford high throughput implementation of designed sequences into living cells. However, our ability to design sequences to interrogate multifactorial biological processes and further engineer biological functions is lagging behind. DNA-Tailor (D-Tailor) is a fully extendable software framework for biological sequence analysis and multi-objective sequence design. D-Tailor permits the seamless integration of an arbitrary number of sequence analysis tools into a Monte-Carlo algorithm that evolves synthetic sequences towards user-defined goals.

This is a framework used to decompose hierarchical graphs, i.e.,graphs which were created from or contain a hierarchy of modules. Each module is reused several times in the hierarchy. This may be useful to reverse-engineer human constructs like electronic equipment, manufactured machines, or bureaucratic hierarchies; but also to decompose natural constructs like gene-relation or protein-relation nets.
