Synthetic Biology: Caught Between Property Rights, the Public Domain, and the Commons [PDF]
, 2006 Synthetic biologists aim to make biology a true engineering discipline. In the same way that electrical engineers rely on standard capacitors and resistors, or computer programmers rely on modular blocks of code, synthetic biologists wish to create an ...

TinkerCell: Modular CAD Tool for Synthetic Biology [PDF]
, 2009 Synthetic biology brings together concepts and techniques from engineering and biology. In this field, computer-aided design (CAD) is necessary in order to bridge the gap between computational modeling and biological data. An application named TinkerCell

Accurate prediction of gene feedback circuit behavior from component properties [PDF]
, 2007 A basic assumption underlying synthetic biology is that analysis of genetic circuit elements, such as regulatory proteins and promoters, can be used to understand and predict the behavior of circuits containing those elements. To test this assumption, we

Editorial–Synthetic Biology [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2010 Synthetic biology builds upon over 35 years of genetic engineering. For example, in the 1970s methods were invented for using enzymes to rework DNA. Applying these tools, bacteria were engineered to yield relevant products such as growth hormones and insulin.

Chemical communication between synthetic and natural cells: a possible experimental design [PDF]
, 2013 The bottom-up construction of synthetic cells is one of the most intriguing and interesting research arenas in synthetic biology. Synthetic cells are built by encapsulating biomolecules inside lipid vesicles (liposomes), allowing the synthesis of one or ...

A case study in model-driven synthetic biology [PDF]
, 2008 We report on a case study in synthetic biology, demonstrating the modeldriven design of a self-powering electrochemical biosensor. An essential result of the design process is a general template of a biosensor, which can be instantiated to be adapted ...
