How information is difficult to capture in the form of standards – WP5 interview fragments
A selection of fragments of interviews published inWP5 are made available in this document. In the interviews the participants describe how information is difficult to
Standardisation in Synthetic Biology: a white book
As most of you probably know, the BIOROBOOST project began almost three years ago and, since then, we have had the chance to discuss standards
The microbial terroir: open questions on the Nagoya protocol applied to microbial resources
The Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-sharing, primarily designed for vascular plant and animal resources, is also extended to the use of microbial resources, but its
Engineering and standardization of posttranscriptional biocircuitry in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Synthetic biology is largely based on transcriptional circuitry, in which promoters, terminators and transcription factor sites are utilized to build devices and modules. However, biocircuitry

The question of orthogonality is inherent to the endeavor of creating standards in Synthetic Biology, although few systematic approaches have been proposed yet. In a
What is a chassis in Synthetic Biology?
A chassis is defined as the load-bearing framework of an object. In other words, the chassis supports the weight and the structure of the object
Which is the standard that you mostly think has to be developed? @kristie_tanner replies: "Maybe an R+D standard. There are standards for very specific things, but nothing especially focused on the management of R+D projects."
Matthew Wook Chang, from the Singapore Consortium for Synthetic Biology, is going to provide us an input from the academia. He insists that we should continue to create an international community that should be accesible to everyone.
It's Markus Schmidt's turn, from @biofaction. Markus is talking about the risk assessment process and safety issues millions of products face throughout the world. Standards could be the solution.
