With this manual, you can be part of it. Based on the BioBuilder curriculum, this valuable book provides open-access, modular, hands-on lessons in synthetic biology for secondary and post-secondary classrooms and laboratories. It also serves as an introduction to the field for science and engineering enthusiasts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Developed at MIT in collaboration with award-winning high school teachers, BioBuilder teaches the foundational ideas of the emerging synthetic biology field, as well as key aspects of biological engineering that researchers are exploring in labs throughout the world. These lessons will empower teachers and students to explore and be part of solving persistent real-world challenges. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn the fundamentals of biodesign and DNA engineering \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore important ethical issues raised by examples of synthetic biology \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvestigate the BioBuilder labs that probe the design-build-test cycle \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest synthetic living systems designed and built by engineers \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure several variants of an enzyme-generating genetic circuit \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel \"bacterial photography\" that changes a strain's light sensitivity \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild living systems to produce purple or green pigment \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimize baker's yeast to produce ?-carotene \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natalie Kuldell, Rachel Bernstein, Karen Ingram\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1491904291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781491904299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e O'Reilly Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 7.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Natalie Kuldell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980528189695,"sku":"9781491904299","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_482505d5-2618-4296-9887-13288b70ea92.jpg?v=1683250417","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/biobuilder-phd-natalie-kuldell-9781491904299","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
