The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Paper-based Synthetic Gene Networks (2014, positive): “Earlier studies in the area of in vitro synthetic biology and cellfree systems have made important contributions to our understanding of fundamental molecular biology and biochemistry and, more recently, in the study of molecular switch dynamics and complex gene circuits (Hong et al., 2014; Karzbrun”
Biomolecular computing systems: principles, progress and potential (2012, background): “Parallel efforts have attempted to embed genetically encoded ‘biological’ computing systems in live objects, mainly single cells 13 , using recombinant DNA technology and synthetic biology 14–16 .”
Feedback GAN (FBGAN) for DNA: a Novel Feedback-Loop Architecture for Optimizing Protein Functions (2018, background): “Synthetic biology refers to the systematic design and engineering of biological systems, and is a growing domain which promises to revolutionize areas such as medicine, environmental treatment, and manufacturing [3].”
Generating and designing DNA with deep generative models (2017, background): “In the future, generative models could potentially serve as vital tools within the larger ﬁeld of synthetic biology [13].”
