Directed evolution aims to expedite the natural evolution process of biological molecules
and systems in a test tube through iterative rounds of gene diversifications and library …

In the first wave of synthetic biology, genetic elements, combined into simple circuits, are
used to control individual cellular functions. In the second wave of synthetic biology, the …

The increasing integration between biological and digital interfaces has led to heightened
interest in utilizing biological materials to store digital data, with the most promising one …

Red light penetrates deep into mammalian tissues and has low phototoxicity, but few
optogenetic tools that use red light have been developed. Here we present MagRed, a red …

The ability to independently control the expression of different genes is important for
quantitative biology. Using budding yeast, we characterize GAL1pr, GALL, MET3pr, CUP1pr …

The practices of synthetic biology are being integrated into 'multiscale'designs enabling two-
way communication across organic and inorganic information substrates in biological, digital …

Microbes are increasingly employed as cell factories to produce biomolecules. This often
involves the expression of complex heterologous biosynthesis pathways in host strains …

This review adds the bilin-binding phytochromes to the Chemical Reviews thematic issue
“Optogenetics and Photopharmacology”. The work is structured into two parts. We first …

Wine is an archetypal traditional fermented beverage with strong territorial and socio-cultural
connotations. Its 7000 year history is patterned by a tradition of innovation. Every value …

Abstract SCRaMbLE (Synthetic Chromosome Rearrangement and Modification by LoxP-
