From biological analysis to synthetic biology
Billions of years of evolution have produced organisms of stunning diversity. Some of these are relatively simple, like the bacteria; others show impressive complexity. For two decades, I have worked on a theoretical reconstruction and understanding of the major transitions that generated the levels of biological organisation that we see today. Many in biology have an antipathy to mathematics, ...
متن کاملBiological Insights from Synthetic Biology.
It is a great pleasure to introduce this Integrative Biology themed issue on Synthetic Biology. The articles featured here cover a refreshingly diverse range of themes. Indeed, they are a testament to the truly exciting breadth of innovative research being pursued by synthetic biologists. Synthetic biology represents a powerful approach to increasing our understanding of the organization and fu...
متن کاملMultiple Biological Model Classification: From System Biology to Synthetic Biology
This paper describes how to classify a family of biochemical pathways and circuits in terms of their temporal behavior by systematic application of time-frequency analysis and temporal logic based model checking. There are two immediate pay-offs for this approach. First, a family of models obtained by systematic perturbations of an archetypal (e.g., wild-type or ancestral) model, when classifie...
متن کاملSynthetic Biology: Engineering Biological Systems
On June 26, 2000, President Bill Clinton and Prime Minister Tony Blair, along with Francis Collins, director of the Human Genome Project at the NIH, and Craig Venter, president of Celera Genomics, announced the arrival of the genomic era with the sequencing of the first draft sequence of the human genome. With this wealth of information, scientists and policy-makers alike were eager to welcome ...
متن کاملFrom systems biology to synthetic biology
If each of us conveys our idiosyncratic view of the elephant, then we, in communion, can imagine its wholeness (Ireland, 1997). An analogous process elucidates Molecular Systems Biology (MSB) and this journal is dedicated to it. The work of a scientist/engineer (seer for short) consists of discovery, modeling, perturbation, and invention. Cycling through these is a key practice of biology. Addi...
