==Proposed topics==
==Synthetic Biology Working Group lunches==
Some potential topics to be discussed at MIT SBWG lunch ... just brainstorming ... please edit.  (I know that we had talked about having people present but I think there are also a set of issues that several people's projects touch on but aren't being addressed by any one person.)  Apologies because these aren't articulated very well.
Current information about SBWG Lunches is located at [[SBWGLunches]].


===Topics===
Information pre-2010 can be found at [[SynBERC:SBWGLunchesArchive]].
#Electronics device families (introduction by TK)
#Abstraction hierarchies
##Parts -> Devices -> Systems
##Biological layer model (AC)
#'''DEVICES''': Composability? Device family specification? Interfaces within families?  Interfaces across families?  Eventually parts datasheet?  Eventually standards?
##Transcriptional device families
##Post-translational device families  (SS)
##Biosynthetic device families (KJP lab)
##Ribozyme device families (AC)
##Translation device families?
#'''PARTS''':
##Terminators
##Coding regions
##RBSs
##Promoters
#'''CHASSIS''': Why do we want different kinds?  What kinds?  What are the simplest systems that work? 
#Synthesis technologies
##What is state of the art?
##What are the good ideas?
##How do we get more investment?
##Can the fabs constrain what people synthesize?
#What does the CAD tool look like?
#Human practices
#Differentiation and cell to cell communication.  Development.  Programmed pattern formation.  Arthur Lander.  Radhika. 
#[[Synthetic Biology:BioBricks/Standardization|Standards]] (also see talk page)
#What characteristics are necessary for a standard specification of part/device/system function? i.e. what does the part datasheet look like?
#*What are the important characteristics for a device that catalyzes an enzymatic reaction?
#*What are the important characteristics for a transcription based device?
#**Here is one [[Endy:F2620|proposal]].
#Load issues
#*What demands on the chassis are of most concern to us? Replication, transcription, [[Endy:Translation demand|translation]], Enzyme activity?
#**Are we regularly placing high demands on the chassis with our existing systems?
#*What chassis responses to an applied demand are of relevance? Growth rate, protein synthesis capacity?
#**Can we specify a threshold demand level above which the chassis response is so severe as to render the our engineered systems inoperable? 
#Selection against our systems
##e.g. IS elements are showing up in our devices!
#Standard chassis
#Statistics of codon pairs
#iGEM 2010
#Registry 2.0
#Publishing (with CS on Oct 20)
#Please add your topic to the list.
