GitLife 2.0: Utilising next generation digital technologies to deliver twenty-fold improvement to a unique version control system, enabling SynBio innovations in net zero and healthcare.

合成生物学（SynBio）是工程原理在生物学中的应用。合成生物学家认为蛋白质是由多种不同成分组成的机器，每种成分都由基因或部分基因编码。通过重新排列基因，它们可以制造出具有新功能的蛋白质。SynBio还大量使用计算机建模，在设计新的生物机器时绘制出哪些基因应该去哪里。SynBio旨在通过优化生物机器来解决能源、食品生产和人类健康方面的问题。大量的拨款和私人投资涌入了SynBio的研究。然而，目前还没有可靠的系统将工程生物体与它们的构造记录相匹配。由于商业竞争者可以相对容易地复制工程生物体，许多新想法无法商业化。同样重要的是，使用SynBio的公司可以向监管SynBio的政府机构提供绝对的证据，证明他们正在使用他们所说的菌株。GitLife生物技术公司（GLB）开发了一种系统，可以将“条形码”DNA序列插入生物体的基因组中。任何人都可以找到这个条形码的序列，并使用它来查看特定的菌株是什么。在这个项目中，他们希望通过使用一种称为椭圆曲线密码学的计算机编码系统来提高系统的安全性。他们还想证明，他们可以在一个菌株的不同位置插入几个条形码。这些条形码的DNA序列，加上它们的位置，使得任何想要复制该菌株以去除这些识别标记的人几乎不可能。GLB计划在2023年底将该系统推向市场。一家名为SFC Capital的投资公司有兴趣进行股权投资，条件是GLB能够获得一笔拨款，以支付使其技术更安全、应用更快的部分成本。

Synthetic Biology (SynBio) is the application of engineering principles to biology. Synthetic Biologists think of proteins as machines, composed of multiple different components, each encoded by genes or parts of genes. By rearranging genes, they can make proteins with new functions. SynBio also uses computer modelling heavily, mapping what genes should go where in designs for new biological machine. SynBio aims to solve problems in energy, food production and human health by optimising biological machines. Lots of grant funding and private investment has poured into SynBio research. However, there are no reliable systems to match engineered organisms with records of how they were constructed. Because commercial competitors can copy engineered organisms relatively easily, many new ideas fail to be commercialised. It is also critical that companies using SynBio can provide government agencies who regulate SynBio with absolute proof that they are using the strain they say they are.GitLife Biotech (GLB) has developed a system that can insert 'barcode' sequences of DNA into an organism's genome. Anyone can find out the sequence of this barcode and use it to see what a particular strain is. In this project, they want to make this system more secure by using a computer coding system called Elliptical Curve cryptography. They also want to demonstrate that they can insert several barcodes into a strain at different locations. The DNA sequence of these barcodes, combined with their location makes it practically impossible for anyone wanting to copy the strain to remove these identification marks.GLB plans to launch this system onto the market in late 2023\. An investment company called SFC Capital are interested in making an equity investment, provided that GLB can secure a grant to cover some of the costs of making their technology more secure and faster to apply.
