ALTERED FLY RESPONSES. “Both premating and post-mating gene expression profiles of monogamous females were more virgin-like than those of females from polygamous populations. Specifically, genes that are up regulated after mating showed on average lower expression in both virgin and mated monogamous females. The opposite was the case for genes down-regulated after mating (although for virgin females this difference was only marginally significant).” http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jeb.12763/full View in LinkedIn

REGRESSION. “After mating, females with an evolutionary history of monogamy exhibited lower relative expression of genes that were up regulated in response to mating and higher expression of genes that were down-regulated – in other words, their post-mating transcriptome appeared more virgin-like.” http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jeb.12763/full View in LinkedIn

GENETIC FLARE. “Males from monogamous populations showed reduced expression of seminal fluid protein genes, 16% less on average than in polygamous males. Further, we identified 428 genes that responded to mating in females.” http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jeb.12763/full View in LinkedIn

DIGITAL TO CHEMICAL INFORMATION. "In nature the digital information of the genome is transcribed to RNA and then translated into proteins by the complex machinery of the ribosome. One of the holy grails of DNA computing and DNA nanotechnology is to make artificial systems that can convert digital information into chemical molecules with similar efficiency." http://www.dna.caltech.edu/Papers/Denmark_Workshop_2013.pdf View in LinkedIn

"DNA NANOTECHNOLOGY, the design and self-assembly of artificial nucleic acid-based structures or systems, has developed with a breath-taking pace in recent years. The technology offers an unparalleled ability to control structure and function at the molecular level and the sizes of the structures are expanding towards the micrometer domain." http://www.dna.caltech.edu/Papers/Denmark_Workshop_2013.pdf View in LinkedIn

BIOPUNK. "iGEM stands for the “International Genetically Engineered Machines” competition. Thousands of student bioengineers from all over the world construct new life forms and race them every year at the Giant Jamboree in Boston. iGEM has been going on for ten years (2,500 competitors this year, over 32 countries, 20,000+ alumni) and gives a peerless window into the global grassroots synthetic-biology revolution." https://lnkd.in/d7F2bmz View in LinkedIn

DIAL UP PROPERTIES. "A future bio designer should be able to code the properties of a living system…by describing the desired features in a biological programming language. That programming language could be DNA, properly understood; but a better analogy might be to see DNA as the machine language — the 1s and 0s, of biology." https://lnkd.in/diYQdpu View in LinkedIn

ECONOMIC DRIVER. "Synbio could produce both transformative science and big business. By some estimates, the global market for synthetic biology is projected to grow to $16 billion by 2018. Much of the anticipated activity centers on pharmaceuticals, diagnostic tools, chemicals, and energy products, such as biofuels." https://lnkd.in/dgV87Ca View in LinkedIn
