RNA Synthetic Biology

This reference book discusses the fundamental principles and applications of RNA synthetic biology. The initial section of the book provides fundamental concepts including RNA synthetic biology, the use computational biology tools for RNA design, the SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment) method, artificial intelligence for design and prediction of RNA circuits, RNA structure prediction and folding algorithms, non-coding RNA, and in vitro selection of functional RNA. This book also highlights the practical applications of RNA synthetic Biology.It offers design, construction and testing of riboswitches, riboregulators, RNA based biosensors, CRISPR for RNA detection, RNA editing, application in nanotechnology, RNA economics, ethics and regulatory issues. This book is intended for researchers and students of molecular biology, genetics, synthetic biology, and RNA biology. Key feature1) Presents fundamental principles and advanced applications of RNA Synthetic Biology2) Reviews the applications of computational tools and artificial intelligence in the design, prediction, and analysis of RNAs and RNA circuits3) Explores the role of RNA modifications on function and the regulatory roles of non-coding RNAs4) Examines CRISPR-based RNA detection and RNA-based therapeutics for genetic diseases, cancer, and infectious diseases.
