Standards: the building blocks of complexity
Standards. The building blocks of complexity, is the latest issue of the Mètode journal, and it focuses on standards in science, with special emphasis on

Recombination-independent genome editing through CRISPR/Cas9-enhanced TargeTron delivery
Group II introns are retroelements (elements that are transcribed into RNA, reverse-transcribed into DNA and then inserted into a new site in the genome) that

Functional implementation of a linear glycolysis for sugar catabolism in Pseudomonas putida
Pseudomonas putida has many naturally-evolved metabolic and stress-tolerant properties, which makes this organism ideal for many biotechnological applications. Glucose catabolism, a redox reaction that allows to

A simple workflow to identify, clone and quantify the function of recombinases in Gram-negative bacteria
The endogenous RecA homology-based recombination system has been typically used to edit the bacterial chromosome in Gram-negative bacteria, and although this technique is efficient, it

SEVA 3.0: a user-friendly web interface, more plasmid vectors and new links of the plasmids to advanced bioinformatic tools
Plasmids and related cloning vectors are one the main assets available to Synthetic Biologists and Molecular Biologists for dissecting and building biological properties, especially in

Initiating the interface between science, industry and risk assessment authorities: notes from the BioRoboost workshop
The need to be able to perform reliable risk assessments in synthetic biology research and for its applications has been identified as a key obstacle to assuring
