  • Publication number: 20200131508
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of joining three or more double-stranded (ds) or single-stranded (ss) DNA molecules of interest in vitro or in vivo. The method allows the joining of a large number of DNA fragments, in a deterministic fashion. It can be used to rapidly generate nucleic acid libraries that can be subsequently used in a variety of applications that include, for example, genome editing and pathway assembly. Kits for performing the method are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20200058376
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media are provided to predict properties of a material that is related to a bioreachable molecule by generating a chemical model of the material based on physicochemical properties and predicting properties of the material based at least in part upon the chemical model and correlative modeling. The material may comprise in its chemical structure one or more instances of the bioreachable molecule. The material may comprise in its chemical structure the bioreachable molecule or at least one semi-synthetic molecule derived from the bioreachable molecule, or a combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20190392919
    Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting the viability of producing target molecules in a host organism are provided. A starting metabolite set for the host and a reaction set are obtained. Included in a filtered reaction set are reactions that are indicated as catalyzed by one or more corresponding catalysts that are themselves indicated as likely available to catalyze the reactions in the host organism. In each processing step, pursuant to the reactions of the filtered reaction set, data representing the starting metabolites and metabolites generated in previous processing steps is processed, to generate data representing one or more viable target molecules.
