  • From Genetically Modified Organisms To Synthetic Biology: Legislation in the European Union, in Six Member Countries and in Switzerland 
    Furger, Franco (2007-12-04)
    This report is based on the assumption that in Europe and in its member countries—with the exception perhaps of Switzerland—“synthetic genomics” as a distinct policy domain does not yet exist. This conclusion is based ...

    The purpose of this RFC is to provide instructions for a rapid and cost efficient cloning and transformation method which allows for the manufacturing of multi-fragment plasmid constructs in a parallelized manner: High ...
  • How to Build Kinetic Models of BioBricks 
    Weeding, Emma; Houle, Jason; Swiniarski, Ben; Smadbeck, Patrick; Lindblad, Kristen; Volzing, Katherine; Srivastava, Poonam; Sotiropoulos, Vassilios; Biliouris, Kostas; Kaznessis, Yiannis (2009-10-21)
    This BioBricks Foundation Request for Comments (BBF RFC) provides instructions on how to automatically generate a model of any BioBrick sequence. These models can be used in computer simulations of the dynamic behavior of ...
  • Idempotent Vector Design for Standard Assembly of Biobricks 
    Knight, Thomas (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory; MIT Synthetic Biology Working Group, 2003)
    The lack of standardization in assembly techniques for DNA sequences forces each DNA assembly reaction to be both an experimental tool for addressing the current research topic, and an experiment in and of itself. One ...
  • iGEM 2005 Invitation Supplement 
    Endy, Drew (2005-09-29)
    This document provides background material in support of the 2005 intercollegiate Genetically Engineered Machine Competition (aka iGEM). Herein, you can read quick summaries of earlier competitions and courses, obtain a ...
