Farren Isaacs, a pioneer of RNA synthetic biology now at Yale University (see two of his classic papers here and here) wrote an excellent news and views article about our recent Nature Chemical Biology paper on rationally designing orthogonal RNA translation regulators. Farren does an excellent job of placing our work in the context of the larger goal of creating computer-aided design (CAD) tools to help engineer biological systems.
