Contextual dependencies expand the re-usability of genetic inverters
In the implementation of Boolean logic circuits in cells, the focus is mainly on the genetic components, although it must be taken into account that

Modelling co-translational dimerization for programmable nonlinearity in synthetic biology
Nonlinearity is fundamental in the performance of natural and synthetic biological networks, as many key functional motifs in microbial systems rely on nonlinear molecular dynamics.

Quantitative assessment of morphological traits of planktonic bacterial aggregates
Planktonic flocs composed of multiple bacterial strains can be used biocatalytic agents in aqueous media for industrial applications and environmental cleanup. Microbial consortia are characterized

An automated DIY framework for experimental evolution of Pseudomonas putida
Adaptive laboratory evolution is a general and effective strategy for optimizing the design of engineered genetic circuits and upgrading metabolic phenotypes. However, the specific characteristics

A standardized inverter package borne by broad host range plasmids for genetic circuit design in Gram-negative bacteria
Genetically encoded logic gates (and, in particular, inverters or NOT gates) are the main building blocks for designing circuits, engineering biosensors, or decision-making devices in

Unblocking the bottleneck – our do’s and don’ts for faster, more successful DNA outsourcing
Authors: Alan Walker & Davide De Lucrezia For much of its history, the exponential decline in the cost of DNA has been held as the
