Synthetic biology is not simply replicating the known ... He had built a toggle switch. Gardner, Collins, and Cantor described their switch in Nature, published early in 2000 back-to-back with ...

and climate change. Food production will need to be more efficient, consistent, and less subject to external factors. An example application of synthetic biology to solving these problems today is ...

Synthetic biology is a bioprocess inspired by nature that is positioned as a potent weapon in the fight against climate change. Cemvita Factory is on a mission to combat climate change using cost ...

Advocates also see in synthetic biology tools for combating climate change and water deficits. Critics warn that genetically modified organisms could pose a danger to native species and natural ...

Early synthetic biology designs, namely the genetic toggle switch and repressilator, showed that regulatory components can be characterized and assembled to bring about complex, electronics ...

“Synthetic biology approaches, like genetic editing, can help improve food security, increase the yield and the resilience of crops in the face of climate change,” says Professor Alistair McCormick, ...

Despite the rapid advances seen with synthetic biology, to expect widespread change in pharma’s approach to it in such a short time is unlikely. Instead, over the next five years we’re going ...

Its conclusions diverge from some previous suggestions that synthetic biology doesn’t change the landscape of threats posed by traditional biological warfare using nonengineered viruses and ...

Jay Shendure, a professor of genome sciences at UW Medicine, will be executive director of the Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology ... record showing how they change over time.

“Our Repressor Switch devices add a new capability to the synthetic biology toolbox for researchers designing synthetic biological circuits,” said co-corresponding author Peng Yin. “They have the ...
