Describe an application Identify a biological engineering tool or application you wish to develop and explain your motivation. I would like to develop a way to make plants grow 100x faster. I find this a very interesting and ambitious question. Perhaps you reverse-engineer the genome, morphological development and constraints, proteins/enzymes/catalysts for growth. Perhaps you design a separate organism (two bacterium?) which produces biomass - a combination of a carbon sequester and a cellulose printer. Perhaps you attempt to design a minimal artificial cell, like a Xenobot / JCVI minimal cells - using new AI design software, you create a minimal genome/DNA, design your own morphological topology through simulation, which is compiled down to gene regulatory networks (GRN’s), transcription factors/thresholds, and DNA.Hugoen
