Volatility of oil prices along with major concerns about climate change, oil supply security and depleting reserves have sparked
renewed interest in the production of fuels from renewable resources. Recent advances in synthetic biology provide new tools
for metabolic engineers to direct their strategies and construct optimal biocatalysts for the sustainable production of biofuels.
Metabolic engineering and synthetic biology efforts entailing the engineering of native and de novo pathways for conversion of biomass constituents to short-chain alcohols and advanced biofuels are herewith reviewed. In the
foreseeable future, formal integration of functional genomics and systems biology with synthetic biology and metabolic engineering
will undoubtedly support the discovery, characterization, and engineering of new metabolic routes and more efficient microbial
systems for the production of biofuels. 相似文献

Fundamental questions in developmental biology are: what genes are expressed, where and when they are expressed, what is the level of expression and how are these programs changed by the functional and structural alteration of genes? These questions have been addressed by studying one gene at a time, but a new research field that handles many genes in parallel is emerging. The methodology is at the interface of large-scale genomics approaches and developmental biology. Genomics needs developmental biology because one of the goals of genomics – collection and analysis of all genes in an organism – cannot be completed without working on embryonic tissues in which many genes are uniquely expressed. However, developmental biology needs genomics – the high-throughput approaches of genomics generate information about genes and pathways that can give an integrated view of complex processes. This article discusses these new approaches and their applications to mammalian developmental biology. 相似文献

Synthetic biology can be defined as the “repurposing and redesign of biological systems for novel purposes or applications, ” and the field lies at the interface of several biological research areas. This broad definition can be taken to include a variety of investigative endeavors, and successful design of new biological paradigms requires integration of many scientific disciplines including (but not limited to) protein engineering, metabolic engineering, genomics, structural biology, chemical biology, systems biology, and bioinformatics. This review focuses on recent applications of synthetic biology principles in three areas: (i) the construction of artificial biomolecules and biomaterials; (ii) the synthesis of both fine and bulk chemicals (including biofuels); and (iii) the construction of “smart” biological systems that respond to the surrounding environment. 相似文献

Concepts, experience, and tools from metabolic engineering are immediately applicable to the challenge of understanding how the genome influences phenotype. However, new experimental approaches and mathematical and computational resources are needed to maximize the contributions of metabolic engineering to general questions in functional genomics. Among the priorities are systems for studying physiology on a microscale, theoretical tools for understanding biological control systems, and metabolic simulators "in silico" which provide reasonable predictions of stimulus-response relationships at engineering and medical resolution, with incomplete information on cellular mechanisms and their parameters. Approaching cells as complex systems, already a well-established principle in metabolic engineering, is essential to surmount stagnation in the rate of pharmaceutical discovery which is still based on a naive single-target paradigm. 相似文献

Random mutagenesis and selection approaches used traditionally for the development of industrial strains have largely been complemented by metabolic engineering, which allows purposeful modification of metabolic and cellular characteristics by using recombinant DNA and other molecular biological techniques. As systems biology advances as a new paradigm of research thanks to the development of genome-scale computational tools and high-throughput experimental technologies including omics, systems metabolic engineering allowing modification of metabolic, regulatory and signaling networks of the cell at the systems-level is becoming possible. In silico genome-scale metabolic model and its simulation play increasingly important role in providing systematic strategies for metabolic engineering. The in silico genome-scale metabolic model is developed using genomic annotation, metabolic reactions, literature information, and experimental data. The advent of in silico genome-scale metabolic model brought about the development of various algorithms to simulate the metabolic status of the cell as a whole. In this paper, we review the algorithms developed for the system-wide simulation and perturbation of cellular metabolism, discuss the characteristics of these algorithms, and suggest future research direction. 相似文献

The scientific techniques used in molecular biological research and drug discovery have changed dramatically over the past 10 years due to the influence of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics. Furthermore, genomics and functional genomics are now merging into a new scientific approach called chemogenomics. Advancements in the study of molecular cell biology are dependent upon "omics" researchers realizing the importance of and using the experimental tools currently available to cell biologists. For example, novel microscopic techniques utilizing advanced computer imaging allow for the examination of live specimens in a fourth dimension, viz., time. Yet, molecular biologists have not taken full advantage of these and other traditional and novel cell biology techniques for the further advancement of genomic and proteomic-oriented research. The application of traditional and novel cellular biological techniques will enhance the science of genomics. The authors hypothesize that a stronger interdisciplinary approach must be taken between cell biology (and its closely related fields) and genomics, proteomics and bio-chemoinformatics. Since there is a lot of confusion regarding many of the "omics" definitions, this article also clarifies some of the basic terminology used in genomics, and related fields. It also reviews the current status and future potential of chemogenomics and its relationship to cell biology. The authors also discuss and expand upon the differences between chemogenomics and the relatively new term--chemoproteomics. We conclude that the advances in cell biology methods and approaches and their adoption by "omics" researchers will allow scientists to maximize our knowledge about life. 相似文献

The genomics revolution has altered the very nature of research in molecular biology, from how to find genes to how to find out what specific genes do. Given the availability of so many fully (or nearly) sequenced genomes, it is now relatively easy to track down dozens or even hundreds of genes relevant to a particular field of study. Unfortunately, up till now, the tools for determining what these genes actually do in embryos and cells have not kept pace, but the burgeoning field of bioinformatics should help correct this shortcoming and introduce the power of genomics to the study of developmental biology. In this review, some of the bioinformatics resources relevant to developmental biologists are described along with some simple approaches for applying these tools to analyzing early development. 相似文献

The "4D Biology Workshop for Health and Disease", held on 16-17th of March 2010 in Brussels, aimed at finding the best organising principles for large-scale proteomics, interactomics and structural genomics/biology initiatives, and setting the vision for future high-throughput research and large-scale data gathering in biological and medical science. Major conclusions of the workshop include the following. (i) Development of new technologies and approaches to data analysis is crucial. Biophysical methods should be developed that span a broad range of time/spatial resolution and characterise structures and kinetics of interactions. Mathematics, physics, computational and engineering tools need to be used more in biology and new tools need to be developed. (ii) Database efforts need to focus on improved definitions of ontologies and standards so that system-scale data and associated metadata can be understood and shared efficiently. (iii) Research infrastructures should play a key role in fostering multidisciplinary research, maximising knowledge exchange between disciplines and facilitating access to diverse technologies. (iv) Understanding disease on a molecular level is crucial. System approaches may represent a new paradigm in the search for biomarkers and new targets in human disease. (v) Appropriate education and training should be provided to help efficient exchange of knowledge between theoreticians, experimental biologists and clinicians. These conclusions provide a strong basis for creating major possibilities in advancing research and clinical applications towards personalised medicine. 相似文献
