Samenvatting:

This reference book discusses the fundamental principles and applications of RNA synthetic biology.

This book discusses the fundamental principles and applications of RNA synthetic biology. The initial section of the book provides fundamental concepts, including RNA synthetic biology, the use of computational biology tools for RNA design, the SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment) method, artificial intelligence for the design and prediction of RNA circuits, RNA structure prediction and folding algorithms, non-coding RNA, and in vitro selection of functional RNA. This book also highlights the practical applications of RNA synthetic biology, offering design, construction, and testing of riboswitches, riboregulators, RNA-based biosensors, CRISPR for RNA detection, RNA editing, application in nanotechnology, RNA economics, and ethics and regulatory issues. This book is intended for researchers and students of molecular biology, genetics, synthetic biology, and RNA biology.

Key Features:

• Presents the fundamental principles and applications of RNA synthetic biology
