**Aims and Scope**

Synthetic Biology aims to establish a standard and effective biological 

design flow, where biological systems are designed and verified 

computationally, before in vitro synthesis and in vivo experiments. Each 

phase of this process has multiple challenges ranging from managing 

high-throughput laboratory operations to developing new software and 

defining accurate and interoperable computational models.

The Special Interest Group in Biological Systems Design (BSD-SIG 2012) 

aims to provide a broad view of the current state-of-the-art for scientists 

from biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and engineering.

Hi Folks
I have a complementary talk in the Technology Track on July 16th at ISMB. I found out about the Bio Systems Design SIG after we had already planned to have this presentation. I'm looking forward to attending the SIG in Long Beach.

TT20 - Use of Genome-scale Metabolic Reconstruction coupled with Characterized Parts to enable Synthetic Engineering of Organisms

Date: Monday, July 16: 11:45 a.m. - 12:40 p.m.Room: 201A

Presenting author: Kevin Clancy, Life Technologies, United States

Presentation Overview: 

Rational engineering of organisms requires a genome-wide understanding of the organism’s physiology. We have applied a combination of genome sequencing, assembly and annotation, metabolic modeling, and synthetic biology methods to engineer the algal strain Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942. This approach can be readily used for engineering known and novel organisms.
