This seems like a very interesting idea! While I'd certainly like to see such a system created and would want to help further the community in any way I could.
On another note: the Leukippos website really needs an update. It looks like it was thrown together in less than five minutes. While it seems superficial, a website like that will really harm the reputation of a team that is looking to push new technology to be adopted in a mainstream environment with tradition as deep-rooted as within the scientific community.
I am not sure if you are a part of the team, but if you are, please let whoever is in charge of the site to clean things up, including the graphics that are in use. High-quality media on a website is an instantaneous reflection of the quality of the commodity (information, product, service, etc.) being marketed on a site. It's why people generally steer well clear of sites that are bloated with terribly placed ads and jarring designs.
Your input is correct and duly noted. Leukippos is working to improve the website. I hesitated to include mentioning it in the paper, but they are a group interested in doing synthetic biology. The problem is too much to do, so little time etc. Leukippos staff are all volunteers and there is not funding that I know of. Actually, I am trying to get them involved with synthetic biology on Steemit, but they feel the need to improve the website. Hopefully, we will get more workers to add momentum to projects.

I may be able to help with some of the graphics for the website! I am by no means a professional but I believe I may be able to create some good media for the site. I will send an email to the Institue after I have made a sample, provided I have the time to do so, so that whoever is in charge can at least consider including some of my work.
Similarly, I may be able to help with the site as well. Again, I will contact the Institute directly if I will be able to help, although the remainder of the year promises to be very hectic for me. I hope I will be able to find the time to help, though!

Gerd is our leader and I gave him a heads up that you were contacting Leukippos Institute. I look forward to collaborating with you.

FYI: Leukippos Institute Leukippos Institute collaborated on an article published by O'ReilleyMedia Media in BioCoder DIY/ Bio Newsletter Spring 2015. The title of the article is "Bioinformatics for Aspiring Synthetic Biologists" and can be found on page 5 here:
