"Announcing SynBioWorld"
We are happy to announce that we will be soon launching SynBioWorld.org. It is a new Synthetic Biology community website. This initiative comes from a group of synthetic biology students from all around the world (France, US, Spain, Portugal, Canada, New Zealand and Switzerland). It aims at providing a state-of-the-art web platform to promote Synthetic Biology and help foster its community. SynBioWorld is a not-for-profit website.
On this community website, you will find a social networking platform, as well as a forum and the latest synthetic biology news. Most importantly, to help you keep track of this fast changing research field, it will provide a database of scientists, institutions, and companies involved in synthetic biology, as well as a database of past iGEM projects.
With your contributions, SynBioWorld.org could become the main hub for the synthetic biology community to meet, share ideas, videos, post job/PhD offers, and build a bright BioBricked future.
Google Wave be freaky. And, maybe not as useless as I thought.
Above is an explanatory video for a new Google Wave robot, called SynBioWave; it allows you to upload sequence data and then visualize and compare that data, or show multiple sequence alignment. It’s in a very early beta, but the ease with which it integrates with BLAST (for example) is kinda scary. Plus, there are a number of other biotech robots in development right now. Starting to get a taste of the secret sauce that could actually make Wave a very big deal.
