301 examples of Synthetic in a sentence

They saw this actually solving a problem: this ability to differentiate components but keep them synthetic.
Once we've designed the new protein, we encode its amino acid sequence in a synthetic gene.
We have to make a synthetic gene because since the protein is completely new, there's no gene in any organism on earth which currently exists that encodes it.
Our advances in understanding protein folding and how to design proteins, coupled with the decreasing cost of gene synthesis and the Moore's law increase in computing power, now enable us to design tens of thousands of new proteins, with new shapes and new functions, on the computer, and encode each one of those in a synthetic gene.
Once we have those synthetic genes, we put them into bacteria to program them to make these brand-new proteins.
This company, Synthetic Genomics, I'm involved with, created the first full synthetic genome for a little bug, a very primitive creature called Mycoplasma genitalium.
Our answer turned out to be synthetic immune systems that are designed to recognize and kill cancer cells.
You do that with genetic engineering and synthetic biology.
CA: OK, so this is probably the one that many of us worry about most, and yes, synthetic biology is perhaps the quickest route that we can foresee in our near future to get us here.
But if you look at globalization and the rapid acceleration of that, if you look at the strategy of "move fast and break things" and what happened with that, and then you look at the potential for synthetic biology, I don't know that we should move forward rapidly or without any kind of restriction to a world where you could have a DNA printer in every home and high school lab.
It's not just synthetic biology, either.
Nature has evolved over 3.8 billion years to be able to do this, but now through the use of synthetic biology, an emerging scientific discipline that seeks to customize this functionality of living systems, we can now rapid prototype the assembly of DNA.
And we're even looking at the tools for synthetic biology.
Tools that have been designed specifically to automate synthetic biology to see how they could adapt to become tools to print and dye textiles.
This is a textile mill doing synthetic silk, an oil byproduct.
And I'm really pleased to report to you today that the first synthetic self-cleaning, dry adhesive has been made.
From the simplest version in nature, one branch, my engineering collaborator, Ron Fearing, at Berkeley, had made the first synthetic version.
Synthetic DNA, the ability to synthesize DNA, has changed at sort of the same pace that DNA sequencing has over the last decade or two, and is getting very rapid and very cheap.
Our first thought about synthetic genomics came when we sequenced the second genome back in 1995, and that from mycoplasma genitalium.
So we think synthetic cells are going to have tremendous potential, not only for understanding the basis of biology but for hopefully environmental and society issues.
So instead of using carbon from oil for synthetic processes, we have the chance of using carbon and capturing it back from the atmosphere, converting that into biopolymers or other products.
There's a group of scientists in Cornell that are making what they call a synthetic tree, because they are saying, "There is no pump at the bottom of a tree."
In my lab, we're using the tools of artificial intelligence and synthetic biology to speed up the fight against this pandemic.
We're also using the tools of synthetic biology, tinkering with DNA and other cellular machinery, to serve human purposes like combating COVID-19, and of note, we are working to develop a protective mask that can also serve as a rapid diagnostic test.
We're also using synthetic biology to design a candidate vaccine for COVID-19.
With the tools of synthetic biology and artificial intelligence, we can win the fight against this novel coronavirus.
Once we identified these substances, we created a concoction, kind of a mixture, a blend of synthetic substances that are reminiscent of what you produce from your body.
And we made a synthetic blend that was attracting three to five times more mosquitoes than a human being.
So, any image of the kind that you see on the left, be it a real image or a synthetic image, it's made up of little regions that you see in the middle column, regions of different colors, different luminances.
We're here today to announce the first synthetic cell, a cell made by starting with the digital code in the computer, building the chromosome from four bottles of chemicals, assembling that chromosome in yeast, transplanting it into a recipient bacterial cell and transforming that cell into a new bacterial species.
