Latest paper, Engineering is Evolution, is now out in @NatureComms! It was great fun working on this one with @chofski and @Michielstock doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

#Engineering is #evolution 🧐 ...perhaps? In the latest from the lab @NatureComms we explore what "#design" might mean when engineering biology and the unifying role of evolution. Work led by the brilliant @simcastle with @Michielstock #synbio doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

🚨In new work led by @simcastle, we consider what it means to engineer something and what exactly the design process is. By linking to key engineering literature that has been overlooked by much of #synbio to date, we find evolution is a unifying concept. osf.io/urq9w/

📢Latest paper out @NatComms "Massively parallel characterisation of engineered transcript isoforms using direct RNA sequencing" We learn to control flows along DNA by repurposing terminators as transcriptional valves! @co_evolver @BrisBioDesign @synbioCDT nature.com/articles/s4146…

As always #IWBDA2021 was great! If you'd like to see what my lab is up to, my keynote is now available to watch online. I hope it sparks interest in some of you to go #beyondGFP and #engineerevolution! 🦠💻🛠️🦀 #synbio #biodesign #biocomputation youtube.com/watch?v=gyOI7F…

New paper out in @NAR_Open on efficient use of dCas12a for multiplexed gene regulation in yeast 🥳 Epic effort lead by @KlaudiaCiurkot at @DSM as part of the EU SynCrop ETN. Great foundation for future genetic circuit design! #synbio #crispr @BrisBioDesign doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…


Turns out several creationist blogs have (wilfully?) misunderstood our paper. For the record: the thesis is that engineers can design *with* evolution, NOT that evolution came about through engineering. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Great work, Joshua. Extra thanks for all the work you did on revisions for this during your EPSRC fellowship!

LSB scientists develop the ‘evotype’ to help unlock the power of evolution for better engineering biology. Incredible work from @simcastle, @PR0FG, and @chofski! Find out more at the link below: bristol.ac.uk/news/2021/june…


One of the biggest inspirations for my art, music, and science is the beauty that exists between order and chaos. This is the region where life can evolve, where meaning emerges from information, and where consciousness is possible. instagram.com/p/CP2cHi8pueR/…

My first paper is out today in Nature Comms "Towards an engineering theory of evolution"

📢Our latest paper "Towards an engineering theory of evolution" where we consider the interwoven nature of #evolution & #synbio is out now in @NatureComms! 🎉 Lots to think about in this one. 🧐@simcastle @PR0FG @BrisBioDesign @BristolBioSci doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

🥳 Refined and expanded... our updated “Engineering Theory of Evolution” This underpins a number of tough experimental projects in the lab as we explore how evolution can become become integrated into large-scale biosystem design! @simcastle @PR0FG #synbio preprints.org/manuscript/202…

I'm sorry but this year it should be called "Lobby Universities, Funders and Governments To Actually Give a Damn About Postdocs Week" here's why... ⬇️

📢An engineering theory of evolution! First preprint out from @simcastle introducing the concept of 'evotype' to enable us to reason about & design the evolutionary potential of engineered biological systems. @PR0FG @BrisBioDesign #synbio #evolution preprints.org/manuscript/202…
