      Knight, Tom (OpenWetWare, 2008-11-19)
      This standard defines the required sequence properties for a Biobrick(R) BB-2 standard biological part. It does not define any functional characteristics of the parts, nor does it motivate any aspect of these standards.

    • Draft Standard for Biobrick Biological Parts 

      Knight, Tom (OpenWetWare, 2007-05-03)
      This standard defines the required sequence properties for a Biobrick(tm) standard biological part. It does not define any functional characteristics of the parts, nor does it motivate any aspect of these standards. ...

      The purpose of this RFC is to outline a method for generating a BioBrick compatible Synthetic Promoter Library (SPL) within bacteria in order to fine-tune the expression of BioBrick parts and devices.

    • Engineered Post-Translational Logic (PTL) 

      Sutton, Samantha; Neves, Sara; Leung, Lauren; Endy, Drew (2005-12-07)
      Current synthetic biological circuits make use of protein-DNA and RNA-RNA interactions to control gene expression in bacteria. Systems that rely on the regulation of gene expression are relatively slow and unsuitable for ...

    • Engineering the Interface Between Cellular Chassis and Integrated Biological Systems 

      Canton, Bartholomew (2005-08-08)
      The engineering of biological systems with predictable behavior is a challenging problem. One reason for this difficulty is that engineered biological systems are embedded within complex and variable host cells. To help ...

      Canton, Bartholomew; Endy, Drew (2005-10-21)
      The engineering of biological systems with predictable behavior is a challenging problem. One reason for this difficulty is that engineered biological systems are embedded within complex and variable host cells. To help ...

    • Engineering transcription-based digital logic devices 

      Shetty, Reshma P.; Endy, Drew; Knight, Thomas F. Jr (2007-07-17)
      Implementing in vivo information processing is a key challenge in synthetic biology. We describe the construction and characterization of digital transcription-based devices from zinc fingers and leucine zippers. We also ...

    • Engineering transcription-based digital logic devices 

      Shetty, Reshma P.; Knight, Thomas F. Jr (Sixth International Conference on Systems Biology, 2005-10-20)
      The goal of Synthetic Biology is to engineer systems from biological parts. One class of systems are those whose purpose is to process information. My work seeks to build transcription-based devices for use in combinational ...

    • Fast multiple gene fragment ligation method based on homologous recombination 

      Wang, Ruiyan; Shi, Zhenyu; Li, Teng; Chen, Guoqiang (2010-10-31)
      With the established BioBrick Assembly standards, ligation of different parts has to be accomplished step by step. It can be time-consuming when dealing with multiple fragment ligation. BBF RFC 62 is developed aimed at ...

    • Fast multiple gene fragment ligation method based on Type IIs restriction enzyme DraIII 

      Shi, Zhenyu; Li, Teng; Chen, Guoqiang (2010-10-31)
      With the established BioBrick Assembly standards, ligation of different parts has to be accomplished step by step. It can be time-consuming when dealing with multiple fragment ligation. BBF RFC 61 is developed aimed at ...

    • Fluorescence assay for polymerase arrival rates 

      Che, Austin, 1979- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
      To engineer complex synthetic biological systems will require modular design, assembly, and characterization strategies. The RNA polymerase arrival rate (PAR) is defined to be the rate that RNA polymerases arrive at a ...

    • Fluorescence Assay for Polymerase Arrival Rates 

      Che, Austin (2003-08-31)
      To engineer complex synthetic biological systems will require modular design, assembly, and characterization strategies. The RNA polymerase arrival rate (PAR) is defined to be the rate that RNA polymerases arrive at a ...

    • 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 ...
