Analog synthetic biology
We analyse the pros and cons of analog versus digital computation in living cells. Our analysis is based on fundamental laws of noise in gene and protein expression, which set limits on the energy, time, space, molecular count and part-count resources needed to compute at a given level of precision. We conclude that analog computation is significantly more efficient in its use of resources than...
متن کاملEthical Debates on Synthetic Biology
Background: As an emerging interdisciplinary area of science with a multitude of potential facilities and applications, synthetic biology integrates different disciplines with one another ranging from basic science to engineering. This interdisciplinary branch therefore encompasses sciences that require specific development and ethical approaches. Materials and Methods: Science management princ...
متن کاملSynthetic biology.
Description: Synthetic biology provides the ability to re-engineer and compose core biological processes in new ways to create robust living systems that address energy, environment, and medical applications. This concentration equips students with essential knowledge and skills on foundational design-oriented models, genetic circuit analysis and design tools, circuit fabrication, characterizat...
متن کاملSynthetic Biology
The past decade has seen tremendous advances in DNA recombination and measurement techniques. These advances have reached a point in which de novo creation of biomolecular circuits that accomplish new functions is now possible, leading to the birth of a new field called synthetic biology. Sophisticated functions that are highly sought in synthetic biology range from recognizing and killing canc...
متن کاملSynthetic biology for synthetic chemistry.
The richness and versatility of biological systems make them ideally suited to solve some of the world's most significant challenges, such as converting cheap, renewable resources into energy-rich molecules; producing high-quality, inexpensive drugs to fight disease; and remediating polluted sites. Over the years, significant strides have been made in engineering microorganisms to produce fuels...
