Synthetic Biology and Materials Science Part 1: Biological Manufacturing
We've discussed some aspects of biotechnology already, but we have yet to discuss the promising field of synthetic biology. We are now able to manipulate biological organisms in ways that have technological applications, and one of the most important of these applications has to do with ma

Goksel MISIRLI - Computational Design of Biological Systems
Synthetic biologists’ aim of designing predictable and novel genetic circuits becomes ever more challenging as the size and complexity of the designs increase. One way to facilitate this process is to use the huge amount of biological data that already exist. However, biological data are

Jim HASELOFF - Synthetic Biology and engineering multicellular systems
Synthetic Biology is an emerging field that employs engineering principles for constructing genetic systems. It is providing a conceptual and practical framework for the systematic engineering of gene expression and behaviour in microbes, but also shows great potential for the

Eriko TAKANO - Harnessing synthetic biology for the production of high-value chemicals
Our ability to readily sequence complete genomes and to manipulate/re-design them on a large scale enables the design and construction of organisms with new functionalities of unprecedented scope (“synthetic biology”). We explore these possibilities in the context of high-value chemical p

Philipp HOLLIGER - Synthetic genetics
Synthetic biology seeks to probe fundamental aspects of biological form and function by construction (i.e. resynthesis) rather than deconstruction (analysis). Synthesis thus complements reductionist and analytic studies of life, and allows novel approaches towards

Differences Between Natural & Artificial Ecosystems | Ecology & Environment | Biology | FuseSchool
An ecosystem can be defined as a large, highly interconnected area of the planet that is composed of several different biotic and abiotic components. A good example of an ecosystem would be an entire forest or mountain range. A natural ecosystem is made of all the plants, animals, and en

Computational design of DNA sequences with defined function is a goal of synthetic biology, but we still lack crucial information required to construct objective functions reflecting reality. Thus, much work in synthetic biology still relies on synthesize -and-screen rath
