    Understanding Biological Design from Synthetic Circuits

    REVIEWS MODELLING Synthetic biology: understanding biological design from synthetic circuits Shankar Mukherji* and Alexander van Oudenaarden‡ Abstract | An important aim of synthetic biology is to uncover the design principles of natural biological systems through the rational design of gene and protein circuits. Here, we highlight how the process of engineering biological systems — from synthetic promoters to the control of cell–cell interactions — has contributed to our understanding of how endogenous systems are put together and function. Synthetic biological devices allow us to grasp intuitively the ranges of behaviour generated by simple biological circuits, such as linear cascades and interlocking feedback loops, as well as to exert control over natural processes, such as gene expression and population dynamics. 10–12 Modularity One of the most astounding findings of the Human potential clinical applications .

    Technoprogressive Biopolitics and Human Enhancement

    TechnoProgressive Biopolitics and Human Enhancement James Hughes Ph.D. Trinity College Williams 229B, 300 Summit St., Hartford, CT 06279-2106 [email protected] “TechnoProgressive Biopolitics and Human Enhancement “ in Progress in Bioethics, ed. Jonathan Moreno and Sam Berger. 2009. MIT Press. pp. 163-188. Abstract A principal challenge facing the progressive bioethics project is the crafting a consistent message on biopolitical issues that divide progressives. The regulation of enhancement technologies is one of the issues central to this emerging biopolitics, pitting progressive defenders of enhancement, "technoprogressives," against progressive critics. This essay will argue that technoprogressive biopolitics express the consistent application of the core progressive values of the Enlightenment: the right of individuals to control their own bodies, brains and reproduction according to their own conscience, under democratic states that work for the public good. Insofar as left bioconservatives want to ensure the safety of therapies and their equitable distribution, these concerns can be addressed by thorough and independent regulation and a universal health care system, and a progressive bioethics of enhancement can unite both enthusiasts and skeptics. Insofar as bioconservative concerns are motivated by deeper hostility to the Enlightenment project however, by assertion of pre-modern reverence for human uniqueness for instance, then a common program is unlikely. After briefly reviewing the political history and contemporary landscape of biopolitical debates about enhancement, the essay outlines three meta-policy contexts that will impact future biopolicy: the pressure to establish a universal, cost-effective health insurance system, the aging of industrial societies, and globalization. Technoprogressive appeals are outlined that will can appeal to key constituencies, and build a majority coalition in support of progressive change.

    Towards Population-Scale Long-Read Sequencing

    REVIEWS Towards population-scale long-read sequencing Wouter De Coster 1,2,5, Matthias H. Weissensteiner3,5 and Fritz J. Sedlazeck 4 ✉ Abstract | Long-read sequencing technologies have now reached a level of accuracy and yield that allows their application to variant detection at a scale of tens to thousands of samples. Concomitant with the development of new computational tools, the first population-scale studies involving long-read sequencing have emerged over the past 2 years and, given the continuous advancement of the field, many more are likely to follow. In this Review, we survey recent developments in population-scale long-read sequencing, highlight potential challenges of a scaled-up approach and provide guidance regarding experimental design. We provide an overview of current long-read sequencing platforms, variant calling methodologies and approaches for de novo assemblies and reference-based mapping approaches. Furthermore, we summarize strategies for variant validation, genotyping and predicting functional impact and emphasize challenges remaining in achieving long-read sequencing at a population scale.

    Integrating Inclusive Inheritance Into an Extended Theory of Evolution

    REVIEWS Beyond DNA: integrating inclusive inheritance into an extended theory of evolution Étienne Danchin*‡, Anne Charmantier§, Frances A. Champagne||, Alex Mesoudi¶, Benoit Pujol*‡ and Simon Blanchet*# Abstract | Many biologists are calling for an ‘extended evolutionary synthesis’ that would ‘modernize the modern synthesis’ of evolution. Biological information is typically considered as being transmitted across generations by the DNA sequence alone, but accumulating evidence indicates that both genetic and non-genetic inheritance, and the interactions between them, have important effects on evolutionary outcomes. We review the evidence for such effects of epigenetic, ecological and cultural inheritance and parental effects, and outline methods that quantify the relative contributions of genetic and non-genetic heritability to the transmission of phenotypic variation across generations. These issues have implications for diverse areas, from the question of missing heritability in human complex-trait genetics to the basis of major evolutionary transitions. Modern synthesis When Charles Darwin was born in 1809, the idea causes, one of which is that heritability estimates are 10 The merging of Darwinism with that species change over time — that is, evolve — had incorrect , or at least misinterpreted, mainly because genetics that occurred from already emerged1. However, it was only half a century non-genetic heritability is often confounded with the 1930s to the 1950s. later, when Darwin published On the Origin of Species2, purely genetic effects. There is increasing awareness that the theory of evolution profoundly transformed that non-genetic information can also be inherited our understanding of life. Darwin understood that across generations (reviewed in REFS 8,11–13). The natural selection can only affect traits in which there is concepts of ‘general heritability’ (REF.

  • Posthumans and Democracy in Popular Culture

    Posthumans and Democracy in Popular Culture

    Posthumans and Democracy in Popular Culture James J. Hughes PhD A version of this paper is forthcoming in Handbook of Posthumanism in Film and Television . Eds. Michael Hauskeller, Thomas D. Philbeck, Curtis Carbonell. Palgrave MacMillan. INTRODUCTION Harry Potter is an anti-racist freedom fighter both in fiction and in the real world. Throughout the Potter novels we are drawn to sympathize with oppressed racial minorities – elves, centaurs, werewolves, half-giants, mud-bloods – and to fear and despise fascist Deatheaters intent on exterminating all non-pure- bloods. (Barratt, 2012). The Potter narrative has had demonstrable social impact, reinforcing tolerance and democratic values in its readers. In Harry Potter and the Millennials (Gierzynski , 2013) Anthony Gierzynski pulls together multiple lines of evidence to argue that the generation of American youth that grew up identifying with Harry Potter’s struggles against racism and fascism have become more anti- racist and Democratic as a consequence. In an analysis of three studies of the effect of reading Harry Potter on political attitudes in the UK and Italy (Vezzali, et al., 2014) researchers concluded that the degree to which the readers identified with Potter was a predictor of the influence of the Potter narratives on readers’ empathy with immigrants, refugees and homosexuals. Popular culture both reflects and shapes political culture. The depiction of the posthuman in popular culture is therefore not only a running commentary on the political concerns of the time, with posthumans as stand-ins for everything from Communists to immigrants, but also a potent shaper of attitudes towards extant and future varieties of humanity.
