| ==Biology Team's 2016 Pilot Project==
| |
| | |
| ==Components of the Synthesis Project==
| |
| | |
| ===Enzymatic Synthesis Chemistry===
| |
| ===Safe Phosphoramidite Chemistry===
| |
| ===Microfluidic Synthesizer Design===
| |
| ===Reassembly Chemistry and Algorithm===
| |
| ===DNA Product Verification===
| |
| ====Overview====
| |
| Once a strand of DNA is made, we will need to check to make sure that it is the correct desired sequence.
| |
| ===Effects of limits of Space on Synthesizer===
| |
| ====Payload Size and Power constraints====
| |
| | |
| ====What kind of shielding do we need?====
| |
| | |
| ====Communication from Device====
| |
| Depending on our ultimate choice of payload, communication from our device involves a number of interesting questions. How do we return the message that synthesis has been carried out successfully? Will the message describe the sequence of the product created, or a simple boolean yes or no?

| ==History of DNA synthesizer idea in SSI==
| |
| The idea of a DNA synthesizer for space has been floating around SSI for some time. [[John Cumbers - Synthetic Biology | One of the earliest recordings stretches back to 2013, in a talk given John Cumbers.]] John Cumbers was also consulted during the initial conception and planning of the project in the summer of 2015.
