==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.

#Electronics device families (introduction by TK) - [[SynBERC:MIT/Calendar/2006-9-27]]
Information pre-2010 can be found at [[SynBERC:SBWGLunchesArchive]].
#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?
##Minimal chassis
##Mesoplasma florum
##E. coli standard strain and rE. coli
##Yeast
#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 practice
#Differentiation and cell to cell communication.  Development.  Programmed pattern formation.  (Arthur Lander, Radhika)
#[[Synthetic Biology:BioBricks/Standardization|Standards]] (also see talk page)
#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!
#Statistics of codon pairs (UC Irvine folks)
#iGEM 2010
#Registry 2.0
#Publishing (with CS on Oct 20)
#Please add your topic to the list.
