Power and responsibility
(2006-11-21)
Peter Parker and Uncle Ben are on my mind. The reason is that is that a month ago I
was jumped by Craig Venter. There were TV cameras around. The live audience was an
interesting, edgy mix, on the interface between ...
Working Papers for Synthetic Genomics: Risks and Benefits for Science and Society
(2007-12-04)
The following papers were commissioned for the project Synthetic Genomics: Risks
and Benefits for Science and Society. These papers formed the basis of many
discussions at project workshops and at a large invitational ...
BioBricks++: Simplifying Assembly of Standard DNA Components
(2004-06-09)
Construction of complex biological systems can require assembling many
modules together. However, existing assembly schemes are lacking in
generality, ease of use, or power to perform some desirable
operations. Currently, ...
A Practical Perspective on DNA Synthesis and Biological Security (12/4/2006 Draft)
(2006-12-12)
Few developments have leapfrogged over predecessor technology as quickly and extensively as synthetic
biology. Based on cutting-edge DNA synthesis technology, synthetic biology has already fueled an
expansion of ...
The BioBrick Public Agreement v1 (draft)
(2009-10-18)
We present a draft for public comment of a new legal framework supporting the future of biotechnology. The framework, named here as the BioBrick Public Agreement, is based upon the contribution of promises not to assert ...
Bioscaffold-Linker
(2009-10-21)
Protein fusions are currently not supported by most assembly standards. This assembly standard aims to provide the basis of a solution to a biobrick-friendly protein fusion mechanism that supports the current favorite ...
Engineering the Interface Between Cellular Chassis and Integrated Biological Systems
(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 ...
Analysis of Targeted and Combinatorial Approaches to Phage T7 Genome Generation
(2007-02-06)
I performed computational analyses of various approaches to generating re-
engineered versions of the genome of bacteriophage T7. I analyzed a proposed design for a
re-engineered genome by examining conservation of T7 ...
GeneJax: A Prototype CAD tool in support of Genome Refactoring
(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 ...
