AA Sequences are the working units of cells that make everything run (they help make structures, catalyze reactions and allow for signaling - a kind of internal cell communication). On Benchling, these are comprised of a string of amino acids and collections of other attributes, such as annotations.

Analyses allow experimental data to be viewed, analyzed, and visualized.

Results represent the output of assays that have been performed. You can customize the schemas of results to fit your needs. Results can link to runs, batches, and other types. To learn more about creating results, click here.

Collaborations represent which user or group has which access policies assigned to access an item.

Benchling supports custom entities for biological entities that are neither sequences or proteins. Custom entities must have an entity schema set and can have both schema fields and custom fields.

A customer-defined alias for a chemical modification on a nucleotide sequence.

A customer-defined notation to model chemically-modified nucleotide sequences.

Data frames in Benchling represent tabular data that is not schematized. They contain columns with defined types and rows of data. Data frames are primarily used within specific Benchling applications. For example, in Benchling Analysis, each table is represented as a dataframe that is visible only within the analysis.

Similar to Data frames, datasets in Benchling represent tabular data that is not schematized. Datasets are saved to folders within Benchling with additional metadata, making them accessible and searchable within Benchling. Each dataset actually contains a data frame, and a data frame is required to create a dataset.

DNA Oligos are short linear DNA sequences that can be attached as primers to full DNA sequences. Just like other entities, they support schemas, tags, and aliases.

DNA sequences are the bread and butter of the Benchling Molecular Biology suite. On Benchling, these are comprised of a string of nucleotides and collections of other attributes, such as annotations and primers.

Entities include DNA and AA sequences, oligos, molecules, custom entities, and other biological objects in Benchling. Entities support schemas, tags, and aliases, and can be registered.

Entries are rich text documents that allow you to capture all of your experimental data in one place.

Files are Benchling objects that represent files and their metadata. Compared to Blobs, which are used by most Benchling products for attachments, Files are primarily used in the Analysis product.

Folders are nested within projects to provide additional organization.

Molecules are groups of atoms held together by bonds, representing entities smaller than DNA Sequences and AA Sequences. Just like other entities, they support schemas, tags, and aliases.

Manage project objects.

RNA Oligos are short linear RNA sequences that can be attached as primers to full DNA sequences. Just like other entities, they support schemas, tags, and aliases.

Schemas define properties on benchling objects

Worklists are a convenient way to organize items for bulk actions, and are complementary to folders and projects
