Composing DNA / Professor and Department Head @ MIT Biological Engineering

[Christopher Voigt @Geneticdesigner]

Plant and soil microbe engineering is a rapidly growing field. This "review" was written as a comprehensive guide to their genetic engineering, from the idiosyncrasies of promoter design to whole genome synthesis.

Mesmerizing light sheet imaging of neutrophils swarming at a yeast target!

The neutrophils were labeled with SPY650-DNA (yellow) and a calcium dye (blue).

Prof. Hamilton Smith at J. Craig Venter Institute, a Nobel laureate for discovering type II restriction enzymes, passed away last night.

A huge loss in Science, but his legacy will be remembered.

On June 16, 1980, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, in the case of Diamond v. Chakrabarty, that living organisms are patentable.

It was a narrow 5-4 decision, but it laid the legal foundations for the entire biotechnology industry. (From the Archives) The First Patented G.M.O.

The water quality in Warsaw, the capital city of Poland, is monitored by 8 clams. If the water gets too toxic, they close, and this triggers analyses that can immediately shut off the city's water supply, if at least 4 are close.

Watch as Pivot Bio agronomist Jeff Hollowell explains what metrics are being tracked in this year’s CERT-N cotton plots in the Mississippi Delta. The true story will be told at harvest, but from this quick analysis, the results look very promising!

[Pivot Bio @pivotbio]

Farmers using Pivot Bio CERT-N in the first year of their program have been impressed with the increase in lint, and their boosted ROI. Learn more about how to incorporate it into your operation: https://t.co/8fdozNhieY
