Synthetic Biology: Synthetic Biology for Industrial Biotechnology - Group 5
https://www.ibiology.org/bioengineeri...
Synthetic biology can be used to engineer metabolic pathways to create high value chemicals using model microorganisms such as yeast. During the Synthetic Biology in Action course, participants engineered yeast to produce beta-caretone. In this talk, they describe the steps they took to engineer an existing yeast pathway to produce the new chemical. These steps include modeling the metabolic pathway outputs, DNA design, amplification, and assembly, and analysis of the final result.
