Microsoft has unveiled plans to launch a biological computing platform called Synthace system will use a computational model to simulate the interactions of millions of combinations of genetic and environmental factors, helping scientists to conduct research more efficiently and create beneficial new manufactured DNA sequences in living cells. In a proof-of-concept pilot, the team will deploy the Station B platform to investigate how cholera bacteria use quorum sensing to form biofilms, thin layers of bacteria that grow on almost all surfaces. The project is being developed in collaboration with Oxford Biomedica and Synthace and the Princeton -based companies Microsoft . Oxford Biomedica and Synthace claims the platform could be used to develop innovations in a number of industries, including the production of medicines, chemicals, food and fuel.
