Biology Team's Pilot Project
==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.
