Journal ArticleDOI

Wisdom of crowds for robust gene network inference

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a comprehensive blind assessment of over 30 network inference methods on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in silico microarray data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiplexed and portable nucleic acid detection platform with Cas13, Cas12a, and Csm6

TL;DR: ShERLOCK as discussed by the authors is a platform that combines isothermal preamplification with Cas13 to detect single molecules of RNA or DNA, which can detect Dengue or Zika virus single-stranded RNA and mutations in patient liquid biopsy samples via lateral flow.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthetic biology: applications come of age.

TL;DR: The de novo engineering of genetic circuits, biological modules and synthetic pathways is beginning to address these crucial problems and is being used in related practical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inferring genetic networks and identifying compound mode of action via expression profiling

TL;DR: Systematic transcriptional perturbations are used to construct a first-order model of regulatory interactions in a nine-gene subnetwork of the SOS pathway in Escherichia coli that provides a framework for elucidating the functional properties of genetic networks and identifying molecular targets of pharmacological compounds.
