The idea of producing artificial or synthetic life has long fascinated mankind and from ancient times many human and animal-imitating “automata” or self-operating machines have been created for entertainment, instructional, ... 
A new technique using fluorescence to automatically measure and map cellular activity in living plant tissue will contribute to better computer models. 
The social, economic and industrial potential of synthetic biology seems enourmous. The sky is the limit. However, the past has taught us that scientists are sometimes a bit too optimistic regarding the potential applications of ... 
What is synthetic neurobiology? You may have heard a little bit of noise about nanopore sequencing in recent weeks. After many years of development, Oxford Nanopore promises that by the end of the year we will be able to read DNA sequences by threading them through the eye of a needle... 
Are Those Your Cells Talking To That Machine? 
He called Tierra “an evolutionary approach to synthetic biology,” and he felt that the little programs evolving in the memory of his computer were a form of life. There were more collections of synthetic “creatures” at the ... 
Despite all Voigt has accomplished in synthetic biology, he got into the field almost by accident. As an undergraduate at the University of Michigan, he majored in chemical engineering, focusing mainly on theoretical studies of ... There are several research efforts around the world aiming to turn bacteria or algae into biofuel factories, using photosynthesis and sunlight. ... Blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, are the basis of the project. The Synthetic Biology Project at the Woodrow Wilson Center is launching a new web-based Synthetic Biology Scorecard, designed to track federal and non-federal efforts to improve the governance of synthetic biology ... 
Bacteria colours your poop to diagnose illnessesDaily MailAn experimental collaboration between scientists and designers working in synthetic biology has produced the new type of bacteria known as E chromi. New paper reports on engineering bacteria to help use brown algae to make ethanol. "The objective of this Statement of Need (SON) is to develop innovative synthetic biological approaches to produce critical U.S. |
The new material, dubbed XNA is capable of replication and evolution, and may be the basis of new forms of synthetic life. 
In the ACS talk, Venter described progress on major projects, including developing new synthetic cells and engineering genomes to produce biofuels, vaccines, clean water, food and other products. That work is ongoing at ... 
"One area I'm really excited about is synthetic biology," Dr. S. Pete Worden, the Center's director, told The Register. 
Reporter speaks to Professors Paul Freemont (Life Sciences) and Richard Kitney (Bioengineering), who lead the EPSRC Centre for Synthetic Biology and Innovation (CSynBI)... In a very insightful article, published in this month in the journal Nature, James Collins, a bioengineer professor at Boston University explains what synthetic biology is, and gives an overview of its potential opportunities and ... 
An overview of DNA computing approaches in different laboratories. 
The burger “will be made from 3000 strips of synthetic meat protein grown in fermentation vats” – presumably not a description that will show on restaurant menus any time soon. The team will use the funding, awarded under the strategic Longer and Larger program, to develop a technique for "clicking" DNA and RNA segments together that could make synthetic biology research projects cheaper, ... 
The field 'synthetic biology' came into being in 2010 when a scientist added synthetic DNA to a bacteria cell to create a 'new' life form. But... 
Funding available for great ideas that can be realized in a few months. Up to 50 K$ for application-oriented projects in Synthetic Biology. 
While making beer can be traced back to ancient Mesopotamia, this new field - often called synthetic biology or engineered biology - belongs to the 21st century. - An overview of what Synthetic Biology companies in the Boston area do. 
Ron Weiss, director of MIT's Synthetic Biology Center, is working to program cells. |
