Genomics and synthetic biology as a viable option to intensify sustainable use of biodiversity [PDF]
The Amazon basin is an area of mega-biodiversity. Different models have been proposed^1-8^ for the establishment of an effective conservation policy, increasing sustainability and adding value for biodiversity. Currently, a broad spectrum of technologies

Engineering orthogonal dual transcription factors for multi-input synthetic promoters [PDF]
Synthetic biology has seen an explosive growth in the capability of engineering artificial gene circuits from transcription factors (TFs), particularly in bacteria. However, most artificial networks still employ the same core set of TFs (for example LacI,

Molecular and biochemical characterization of a novel isoprene synthase from Metrosideros polymorpha
Background Isoprene is a five-carbon chemical that is an important starting material for the synthesis of rubber, elastomers, and medicines. Although many plants produce huge amounts of isoprene, it is very difficult to obtain isoprene directly from ...

Chemical communication between synthetic and natural cells: a possible experimental design [PDF]
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 synthetic microbial biosensor for high-throughput screening of lactam biocatalysts
Efficient biosynthesis of lactams is still undesirable due to lacking of suitable enzyme. Here, the authors develop a sensitive transcription factor-based biosensor for high-throughput screening of marine metagenome and find a cyclase that can cyclize ω ...

Synthetic biology, engineering biology, market expectation
‘Engineering biology’ is being increasingly adopted as a term by organisations that seek to deliver benefits from ‘synthetic biology’. However, are ‘engineering biology’ and ‘synthetic biology’ different words with the same meaning or do they signal ...

I am old enough to have taken part in the international project to sequence the first eukaryotic genome—that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae—which was released in 1996. Twenty years later, scientists from academic and commercial institutions are now involved

Opening up the Future(s) of Synthetic Biology [PDF]
Much of the discussion surrounding synthetic biology involves some degree of speculation about the future. This paper reports on two workshops we held with the aim of ‘opening up’ and exploring possible futures for synthetic biology, one at the Synthetic
