Awesome

A curated list of Synthetic Biology / Genetic Engineering projects, articles and resources. The main idea is that everyone can contribute here, so we can have a central repository of informations about this fascinating subject that we all can keep up-to-date.

Inspired by the awesome list thing.

Synthetic Biology Explained

Articles

• A programming language for living cells: New language lets researchers design novel biological circuits.
• Artificial Molecules: Scientists have figured out how to make their own molecules from scratch.
• DNA Data Storage: DNA Data Storage Moves Beyond Moore’s Law.
• Scientific Swap Meet Behind the gene-editing Boom: The gene-editing technology called CRISPR is probably the fastest-spreading technology in the history of biology.

Software

• Cello Cad: Genetic circuit design automation.
• (Poly)merase - A Go library and command line utility for engineering organisms.
• GENtle2: Web-Based DNA Editor for Synthetic Biology.
• Gigabase: Brogramming for life.
• fpSelection: fpSelection tool uses a set of algorithms for solving these problems efficiently to design n-color fluorophore panels that are optimized for maximal signal, minimal bleed-through, and other biological parameters for a specific fluorescent measurement instrument.

Programming Languages

• Verilog (Cello): A genetic logic synthesis tool. A high-level logic specification written in Verilog (a hardware description language) can be synthesized to give a plasmid containing logic gates.
• Eugene: Eugene is a human- and machine-readable language for specifying the design of biological systems. It allows users to generate biological designs based on customizable constraints, such as the maximum number of included genetic parts, the directionality of specific components, or the total sequence length of the output device. Specification

Hardware

• BioHackAcademy: hardware design file repos from Waag's BioHackAcadamy online(?) course
