Have you ever tried using something like emerald cloud lab? I would think that's the kind of API we need in order to actually automate all of these protocols, then all that is required is a hub for sharing protocols on such a platform

That's the hope! I started a grant program that gives academics access to Emerald for exactly this reason. alignbio.org/the-challenge There's definitely a lot of potential for formalizing and sharing common experimental methods, and a lot of software development to be done to make it happen :)

>I really wanted Genewiz to send the sequencing results to an email that would automatically align them to the proper benchling plasmid and just text me to say which plasmid had exactly validated.

That would be awesome and save me a lot of time. Hopefully Benchling can improve their API.
