Diagrams showing structure and function in biological organism engineering
We've just had official publication of another major step forward in turning synthetic biology into a well-organized field of engineering: the SBOL Visual 2.0 standard. This is a big one, because it means we have a clear way not only of summarizing genetic structure (as we have had since SBOL Visual 1.0), but also of showing the interactions of genes with proteins and other molecules in order to actually affect cellular functions.
