Quick Start

Get up and running in under 5 minutes with the open-source teselagen Python client.

quickstart.py

# Install the client
pip install teselagen

# Point it at your instance and log in with your API Password
from teselagen.api import DESIGNClient

client = DESIGNClient(host_url="https://your-instance.teselagen.com")
client.login(
    username="you@example.com",
    password="<API Password>",
)

# Read designs and sequences from your registry
designs = client.get_designs()
sequence = client.get_dna_sequence(seq_id=42)

# Submit a codon-optimization job and collect the results
job = client.post_codon_optimization_job(sequence=sequence)
results = client.get_codon_optimization_job_results(job["id"])

print(results)

ELN & LIMS Integration

Read sequences, registry entries, and assay results from your TeselaGen instance and write designs and amino acid sequences back — over the REST API, the Python client, or the MCP server.

registry_integration.py

from teselagen.api import DESIGNClient, TESTClient

# One login per module; the token is reused across calls
design = DESIGNClient(host_url="https://your-instance.teselagen.com")
design.login(username="you@example.com", password="<API Password>")

# Pull the registry sequences you want to work from
sequences = design.get_dna_sequences()

# Push protein designs back into the registry
design.import_aa_sequences(
    aa_sequences=[
        {"AA_NAME": "variant-1", "AA_SEQUENCE": "MKV..."},
    ]
)

# Assay data lives in the TEST module
test = TESTClient(host_url="https://your-instance.teselagen.com")
test.login(username="you@example.com", password="<API Password>")
