Part extracts that include backbones #39
Comments
Hi, I agree with the idea in general. I would like to suggest the use of "sticky part" and "sticky backbone" given that both have sticky ends when opened or digested and they communicate that they are able to ligate to other parts. In thi way the name will include information of their state (sticky) rather than an action that happened to them (opened). |
I don't have a strong preference between "open backbone" and "opened backbone." I would prefer not to use the "sticky" terms though, because:

Per discussion between myself and @Gonza10V, the proposal is to change to "open" from "opened" (matching the case of "extract" as opposed to "extracted"), and to keep the distinction of "open backbone" and "open part in backbone" due to the representational distinction. Bottom line:

In BP011, @GC-repeat noticed that our terminology is currently awkward with respect to a digestion product that includes a backbone. Although it is technically covered by the "part extract" term, that feels wrong from the perspective of terminology.
We therefore propose to expand the terminology of digestions products to include distinctions with respect to their contents as follows:
SubComponent
that includes anengineered_insert
, but noSubComponent
that includes a backbone, then it is a "part digest"SubComponent
that includes a backbone, but noSubComponent
that includes anengineered_insert
, then it is an "opened backbone"engineered_insert
, then it is an "opened part in backbone"This is backward compatible with the current BP011, which is underspecified for "opened backbone" and "opened part in backbone"
