Moore et al, 2014
Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are proteins secreted by Xanthomonas bacteria to aid the infection of plant species. TALEs assist infections by binding to specific DNA sequences and activating the expression of host genes. Recent results show that TALE proteins consist of a central repeat domain, which determines the DNA targeting specificity and can be rapidly synthesized de novo. Considering the highly modular nature of TALEs, their versatility, and the ease of constructing these proteins, this technology can have important implications for synthetic biology applications. Here, we review developments in the area with a particular focus on modifications for custom and controllable gene regulation.

Gerd Moe-Behrens's insight:
I am following tight the developments at Reddcoin - I think their idea of a social currency where you can show your love of a contributor in social media with a tip. Today ReddCoin announced a paper where they further develop their ideas.
A new social currency model by Reddit - this can potentially revolutionize science publishing. We can direct publish and can get payment, if we have done great work - instead of that the authors have to pay and publishing companies make the big money....
*Proof of Stake Velocity: Building the Social Currency of the Digital Age*
by
Larry Ren
"Proof of Stake Velocity (PoSV) is proposed as an alternative to Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) to secure the peer-to-peer network and confirm transactions of Reddcoin, a cryptocurrency created specifi- cally to facilitate social interactions in the digital age. PoSV is designed to encourage both ownership (Stake) and activity (Velocity) which directly correspond to the two main functions of Reddcoin as a real currency: store of value and medium of exchange. Reddcoin can also function as the unit of account in heterogeneous social context. The technological aspects of PoSV are presented after a detailed review of existing designs. The eco- nomic aspects of Reddcoin are then analysed. Finally the unique position of Reddcoin as a digital social currency in the competitive landscape of cryptocurrencies is discussed."

A major goal of synthetic biology is to build reliable, predictable networks of molecular and cellular components that can work as new biological devices capable of, for example, sensing chemicals, manufacturing drugs or even fighting disease. However, achieving such goals entails the production of complex synthetic biocircuits, which requires synchronization of multiple components. Although synchronization is well established in electronics1, synchronizing living cells is a major challenge, because it demands correlation of different phenomena that may be taking place on different temporal and spatial scales. (...) Prindle et al. report that such coupling has been achieved in cells of the bacterium Escherichia coli.

"Cells proliferate by division into similar daughter cells, a process that lies at the heart of cell biol- ogy. Extensive research on cell division has led to the identification of the many components and control ele- ments of the molecular machinery underlying cellular division. Here we provide a brief review of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell division and emphasize how new approa- ches such as systems and synthetic biology can provide valuable new insight."
