The Language of Biology: Computation to aid protein design
Synthetic biology has reached its adolescence and it is such an exciting time to be a researcher in the field. What started as a dream of molecular biologists in the ‘60s has grown into a bustling, interdisciplinary field full of researchers tackling a wide variety of the world’s biggest problems in health, environment, and agriculture.
and it is such an exciting time to be a researcher in the field. What started as a dream of molecular biologists in the ‘60s has grown into a bustling, interdisciplinary field full of researchers tackling a wide variety of the world’s biggest problems in health, environment, and agriculture. By definition, synthetic biology is the creation and manipulation of new biological components and systems. In a way, it is a field devoted to learning the “language” of biology with the hope that one day we will be able to “read” and “write” fluently enough to use it to tackle real-world problems. At…
