Genetic circuit engineering is the synthesis of unnatural DNA segments encoding protein or RNA molecules that control each other’s levels. Genetic circuit engineering is the bottom-up, local approach ...

Genetic engineers can design and assemble sophisticated gene circuits to program cells with new functions, but important ...

An op-amp operates on analog input. It can be used to amplify or attenuate this input, and to carry out mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, integration, and differentiation. Because ...

Pictured: Drosophila melanogaster, more commonly referred to as the fruit fly. During development, synapse formation in the central nervous system of this tiny fruit fly utilizes mechanisms conserved ...

Ten years since the introduction of the field's inaugural devices—the genetic toggle switch (J.J.C. and colleagues) 1 and repressilator 2 —synthetic biologists have successfully engineered a wide ...

Researchers have developed an adapator that makes the genetic engineering of microbial components substantially easier and more predictable. Synthetic biology is the latest and most advanced phase of ...
