"Synthetic Biology - a primer" http://www.amazon.com/Synthetic-Biology-Paul-S-Freemont/dp/1...
on “Synthetic biology is heading for the cloud” ↗…techniques-- like TALENs? see http://diyhpl.us/wiki/gene-editing/ "Primer for synthetic biology" http://www.openwetware.org/images/3/3d/SB_Primer_100707.pdf pretty old presentation but here you go, "Synthetic Biology: A primer" http://cellbase.epfl.ch/twiki/pub/IGEM/PaperCollection/iGEM_...
on “First Human Embryos Edited in U.S” ↗…enough of those in healthcare already, tons of so-called "health tech" companies that were merely performing analytics on wearables. Profitable? Maybe. Exciting and innovative? No. Some reading material: Synthetic biology: A Primer An introduction to systems biology (get the 2020 edition) O'Reilly: Biobuilder Molecular biology of the Gene Campbell's Biology YouTube Channels: The Thought Emporium Josiah Zayner Khan Academy…
on “Ask HN: What Technologies to Learn in 2020?” ↗For biology, assuming a CS/engineering background: Campbell's Biology Synthetic biology: A Primer An introduction to systems biology by Uri Alon (get the 2020 edition) O'Reilly: Biobuilder
on “Ask HN: What, in your opinion, are the greatest and most useful textbooks?” ↗Synthetic Biology: A Primer Wetware: A Computer in Every Living Cell (the second for systems biology)
on “Reverse Engineering the Source Code of the BioNTech/Pfizer SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine” ↗…simpler than first appear. The metabolic map looks like spaghetti on the wall but each point is composed of reusable blocks like feedforward and feedback etc (see Uri Alon’s book and “Wetware” book and Synthetic Biology: A primer for more detail) I’m biased as a molecular biologist but genetics and systems biology are the most incredible thing.

on “We Don't Know How to Compute (2011) [video]” ↗
