Amorphous Computing
(1999-08-29)Amorphous computing is the development of organizational principles and programming languages for obtaining coherent behaviors from the cooperation of myriads of unreliable parts that are interconnected in unknown, ... -
Analysis of Targeted and Combinatorial Approaches to Phage T7 Genome Generation
(2007-02-06)I performed computational analyses of various approaches to generating re- engineered versions of the genome of bacteriophage T7. I analyzed a proposed design for a re-engineered genome by examining conservation of T7 ... -
Applying engineering principles to the design and construction of transcriptional devices
(2008-05-27)The aim of this thesis is to consider how fundamental engineering principles might best be applied to the design and construction of engineered biological systems. I begin by applying these principles to a key application ... -
Assembly of BioBrick standard biological parts using three antibiotic assembly
(Elsevier Inc., 2011-05-20)An underlying goal of synthetic biology is to make the process of engineering biological systems easier and more reliable. In support of this goal, we developed BioBrick assembly standard 10 to enable the construction of ... -
The BioBrick Public Agreement v1 (draft)
(2009-10-18)We present a draft for public comment of a new legal framework supporting the future of biotechnology. The framework, named here as the BioBrick Public Agreement, is based upon the contribution of promises not to assert ... -
The BioBrick Public Agreement v1a
(2010-01-25)We present an updated, clean draft for additional public comment of a new legal framework supporting the future of biotechnology. The framework, named here as the BioBrick Public Agreement, is based upon the contribution ... -
BioBricks++: Simplifying Assembly of Standard DNA Components
(2004-06-09)Construction of complex biological systems can require assembling many modules together. However, existing assembly schemes are lacking in generality, ease of use, or power to perform some desirable operations. Currently, ... -
BioJADE: A Design and Simulation Tool for Synthetic Biological Systems
(2004-05-28)The next generations of both biological engineering and computer engineering demand that control be exerted at the molecular level. Creating, characterizing and controlling synthetic biological systems may provide us ... -
Cellular computation and communications using engineered genetic regulatory networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)In this thesis, I present an engineering discipline for obtaining complex, predictable, and reliable cell behaviors by embedding biochemical logic circuits and programmed intercellular communications into cells. To accomplish ... -
Cellular Computing, ISAT Summer Study, August 1996
(2016-01-27)Create and exploit a novel technology for information processing and manufacturing by controlling processes in living cells. -
Cellular Gate Technology
(First International Conference on UNCONVENTIONAL MODELS OF COMPUTATION, Auckland, New Zealand, 1998-01-05)We propose a biochemically plausible mechanism for constructing digital logic signals and gates of significant complexity within living cells. These mechanisms rely largely on co-opting existing biochemical machinery and ... -
DARPA BioComp Plasmid Distribution 1.00 of Standard Biobrick Components
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 2002-05-22)This distribution consists of 300 ng aliquots of plasmid DNA for each of twelve components and compound constructs utilizing our idempotent assembly strategy. The dried DNA should be stable at room temperature for many ... -
Definitions and Measures of Performance for Standard Biological Parts
(2006-03-16)We are working to enable the engineering of integrated biological systems. Specifically, we would like to be able to build systems using standard parts that, when combined, have reliable and predictable behavior. Here, ... -
Design and Evolution of Engineered Biological Systems
(2005-08-11)To date, engineered biological systems have been constructed via a variety of ad hoc approaches. The resulting systems should be thought of as pieces of art. Here, I propose to explore how existing forward engineering ... -
Design and Evolution of Engineered Biological Systems
(Sixth International Conference on Systems Biology, 2005-10-20)To date, engineered biological systems have been constructed via a variety of ad hoc approaches. The resulting systems should be thought of as pieces of art. We are interested in exploring how existing forward ... -
Draft OpenMTA 11 June 2017, for comment
(2017-08-24)The Open Material Transfer Agreement (OpenMTA) is designed to allow researchers to share materials on an open basis while working within the practical realities of technology transfer. Our goal it to help reduce transaction ... -
Engineered Post-Translational Logic (PTL)
(2005-12-07)Current synthetic biological circuits make use of protein-DNA and RNA-RNA interactions to control gene expression in bacteria. Systems that rely on the regulation of gene expression are relatively slow and unsuitable for ...
