Researchers create synthetic cells to isolate genetic circuits

Monday, November 14, 2016 - 11:01 in Biology & Nature

Synthetic biology allows scientists to design genetic circuits that can be placed in cells, giving them new functions such as producing drugs or other useful molecules. However, as these circuits become more complex, the genetic components can interfere with each other, making it difficult to achieve more complicated functions.
