+Automated design of thousands of nonrepetitive parts for engineering stable genetic systems.
+
+[[!pmid 32661437 desc="To avoid homologous recombinations, synthetic parts of a genome that have the same function (promoter, ...) need to have a different sequence. Constructing a set of functional synthetic sequences that never share k-mers of a given length (10 to 20) is difficult because the graph of related sequences is very dense. Therefore, the authors have optimised an algorithm for very dense graph."]]
The use of laboratory automation in synthetic biology studied by a sociologist: [[Meckin 2020|biblio/32904024]].
+Synthetic sequences that have the same function in a genome need to differ from each other, to prevent from spurious homologous recombinations. Hossain and coll ([[2020|biblio/32661437]]) optimised an algorithm for producing libraries of "nonrepetitive" elements such as promoters.
