    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...
    • Fusion Protein (Freiburg) Biobrick assembly standard 

      Grünberg, Raik; Arndt, Katja; Müller, Kristian (2009-04-18)
      This Request for Comments (RFC) describes an extension to the original BioBrick assembly standard (BBF RFC 10). The Fusion Assembly strategy described here is fully backwards compatible with RFC 10 and supports the ...
    • GenBrick – A Rapid Multi-Part Assembly Method for BioBricks 

      Gasiūnaitė, Lina; Lewicka, Aleksandra; Pashkuleva, Hristiana; Villanueva, Hugo; Thornton, Harry; e.a. (2013-10-04)
      This BioBricks Foundation Request for Comments (BBF RFC) describes a novel approach, GenBrick, for the rapid assembly of multiple BioBrick RFC10-compatible parts in a single reaction, with completely flexible part order, ...
    • GeneJax: A Prototype CAD tool in support of Genome Refactoring 

      Anand, Ishan; Kosuri, Sriram; Endy, Drew (2006-05-26)
      Refactoring is a technique used by computer scientists for improving program design. The Endy Laboratory has adapted this process to make the genomes of biological organisms more amenable to human understanding and design ...
    • General updating scheme for the design and construction of assembly vectors that are compatible with BBF RFC 10 and BBF RFC 28 

      Billerbeck, Sonja; Zwicky, Katharina; Lang, Moritz; Pestalozzi, Luzius; Rosenberger, George; e.a. (2010-12-05)
      BBF RFC 75 intends to link the BBF RFC 28-based combinatorial multi-part assembly method to BBF RFC 10. Its aim is to easily redesign an expression vector to make it compatible to BBF RFC 10 for the construction of fusion ...
    • The GoldenBricks assembly: A standardized one-shot cloning technique for complete cassette assembly
