The Standard European Vector Architecture (SEVA) platform is a web-based resource and a material clone repository to assist the choice of optimal plasmid vectors for de-constructing and re-constructing complex prokaryotic phenotypes.

The SEVA database (SEVA-DB) is a resource for implementation of a standard for physical assembly of vector plasmids and for their non-ambiguous nomenclature as well as the index for a repository of functional sequences and actual constructs available to the community. The database was designed to simplify the choice of a given vector for the sake of specific applications, in such a way the user can easily decide the best configuration of replication origins, antibiotic resistance and business segments.
