As two of the co-organizers of the sixth International Meeting on Synthetic Biology (SB6. 0), we are pleased to present you the SB6. 0 special edition of ACS Synthetic Biology. SB6. 0 was the largest synthetic biology conference to date, with contributions from over 100 speakers and 332 poster presentations. In this issue, we present 10 papers that highlight some of the great work presented at SB6. 0. Additionally, Palmer and Jewett discuss how SB6. 0 provided a platform to assess the state of the synthetic biology community and future directions it could take.A key theme of SB6. 0 and a major aspect of designing novel biological systems is the control of gene expression. This issue contains three papers focusing on ways to better control gene expression in various host organisms. Sakai et al. engineer noncoding sRNA to better regulate gene expression in E. coli, Vogl and co-workers use a rational design approach to develop a library of synthetic core promoters for Pichia pastoris, and Nishikata et al. develop and present PromoterCAD, a computational design tool to design synthetic promoters for mammals and plants.
