[Singularity Weblog] Synthetic Biology Breakthrough: Programming Life on Your ...: Ho Socrates, well said and thank you for creating and maintaining the Singularity Weblog Symposium as a forum where these questions and issues can be publicly aired. What you say is true, as far as it goes, but the ethical issues hinge upon the concluding sentence:So usually what happens is that, while philosophers are busy debating the above, the restless engineering genius is busy building what may turn out to be either our immortality or our extinction…

[All Daily Technologies] Biologists on the Verge of Creating New Form of Life: Protocellular work is even more radical than the other field trying to create artifical life: synthetic biology. Even J. Craig Venter's work to build an artificial bacterium with the smallest number of genes necessary to live takes ...

[Reflections on Digital Media & Culture] Neuroscience eclipses artificial intelligence | Reflections on Digital ...: Since the early days of AI in the 1950s, and its flowering in the 1980s, we’ve also seen the development of the World Wide Web, ubiquitous mobile devices, social media, multi-user computer games and immersive environments, massive memory and computational power at low cost, all hinting at palpable augmentations to human intelligence. These media also offer rich databases replete with resource material on which to let loose, or at least to test, AI tools and techniques: resources for automated “learning.”

[Sciencebase Science Blog] Brewing up synthetic yeast - Sciencebase Science Blog: Implications of this work include the better understanding of the rules that govern genome structure and behavior in yeast, one of the most important model systems for understanding biological processes. Specifically, what makes the work particularly interesting is that when the CRE recombinase is transiently expressed in yeast cells carrying the synthetic region, extensive recombination occurs between pairs of loxP site leading to a variety of deletions and inversions of the DNA between the sites.

[Singularity Weblog] Making Silk from Milk: a Documentary about Synthetic Biology: Below you will see a video of what looks like a very interesting documentary project by Field Test Film Corps about Synthetic Biology.

[Chemical Society Reviews Blog] Synthetic gene networks « Chemical Society Reviews Blog: The term ”˜synthetic biology’ is used to describe the combination of engineering and biology. By rationally designing systems using biological building blocks, we can gain a better understanding of existing biological life, enabling new therapeutic solutions to be found.
