Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL) Version 2.1.0. (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL) Version 2.1.0. Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics, 291 - ?. https://doi.org/10.2390/biecoll-jib-2016-291

Synthetic biology builds upon the techniques and successes of genetics, molecular biology, and metabolic engineering by applying engineering principles to the design of biological systems. The field still faces substantial challenges, including long... Read More about Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL) Version 2.1.0..

Learner Analytics; The Need for User-Centred Design in Learning Analytics (2016)
Journal Article
Kyriacou, & De Quincey. (2016). Learner Analytics; The Need for User-Centred Design in Learning Analytics. https://doi.org/10.4108/eai.23-8-2016.151643

The interaction and interface design of Learning Analytics systems is often based upon the ability of the developer to extract information from disparate sources and not on the types of data and interpretive needs of the user. Current systems also te... Read More about Learner Analytics; The Need for User-Centred Design in Learning Analytics.

Optogenetics in Silicon: A Neural Processor for Predicting Optically Active Neural Networks (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Optogenetics in Silicon: A Neural Processor for Predicting Optically Active Neural Networks. IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems, 15-27. https://doi.org/10.1109/TBCAS.2016.2571339

We present a reconfigurable neural processor for real-time simulation and prediction of opto-neural behaviour. We combined a detailed Hodgkin-Huxley CA3 neuron integrated with a four-state Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) model into reconfigurable silicon h...

Robust Statistical Methods for Empirical Software Engineering (2016)
Journal Article
(2016). Robust Statistical Methods for Empirical Software Engineering. Empirical Software Engineering, 579- 630. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10664-016-9437-5

There have been many changes in statistical theory in the past 30 years, including increased evidence that non-robust methods may fail to detect important results. The statistical advice available to software engineering researchers needs to be updat... Read More about Robust Statistical Methods for Empirical Software Engineering.

The SBOL Stack: A Platform for Storing, Publishing, and Sharing Synthetic Biology Designs. (2016)
Journal Article
Wipat, A., Hallinan, J., Madsen, C., McLaughlin, J., Mısırlı, G., Pocock, M., & Flanagan, K. (2016). The SBOL Stack: A Platform for Storing, Publishing, and Sharing Synthetic Biology Designs. ACS synthetic biology, 487 - 497. https://doi.org/10.1021/acssynbio.5b00210

Recently, synthetic biologists have developed the Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL), a data exchange standard for descriptions of genetic parts, devices, modules, and systems. The goals of this standard are to allow scientists to exchange design... Read More about The SBOL Stack: A Platform for Storing, Publishing, and Sharing Synthetic Biology Designs..

Data Integration and Mining for Synthetic Biology Design. (2016)
Journal Article
Mısırlı, G., Hallinan, J., Pocock, M., Lord, P., McLaughlin, J., Sauro, H., & Wipat, A. (2016). Data Integration and Mining for Synthetic Biology Design. ACS synthetic biology, 1086 - 1097. https://doi.org/10.1021/acssynbio.5b00295

One aim of synthetic biologists is to create novel and predictable biological systems from simpler modular parts. This approach is currently hampered by a lack of well-defined and characterized parts and devices. However, there is a wealth of existin...
