Synthetic biology keeps making news, and the SYNENERGENE newsletter comes in an extra long version to keep track of technological developments and givernance issues. This third edition is about the use of 'gene circuits' in plants, a report linking synbio research to fossil fuel extraction, scientists annoucing their plans to use gene drive technology to combat malaria, and a call for a more active approach towards standardization efforts in the European Union. As always, the newsletter also highlights recent publications and upcoming events in the field of synbio and Responsible Research and Innovation.
