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. 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.
