Abstract
Our human practice project has three components: Survey results regarding error-proneness in constructing synthetic gene circuits, a Synthetic Biology College Course proposal, and Synthetic Biology for Educators.
The college course was recently developed, and surveys are still being taken by students attending the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. The initial survey results have been shown here.
To understand the cause of human errors in Synthetic Biology, we made a short survey outlining the techniques that people commonly use to create synthetic gene circuits. We collected the opinions from research fellows in biology labs on which techniques they find are particularly error prone and which ones are relatively error free. Their responses are helpful in understanding issues related to consistency in implementing synthetic gene networks. One example of how we may use results from this survey is to identify processes that would significantly benefit from automation.
