Which Schools Offer Programs in Genetic Engineering and Synthetic Biology?

AI Thread Summary
Prominent schools offering specialized programs in genetic engineering and synthetic biology are sought after, as many existing biological engineering curricula appear to lack a focused approach in these areas. Graduate-level courses may provide more targeted education and opportunities in synthetic biology and genetic engineering. Job prospects for graduates in these fields are a key concern, with expectations for roles that leverage advanced skills in genetic manipulation and biological design. A resource was shared listing top genetic engineering schools, indicating a growing interest in specialized education within this rapidly evolving sector.

Does anyone know of any prominent schools that offer programs that focus mostly on genetic engineering and synthetic biology? I have reviewed biological engineering programs of a few schools and the curricula comprising their programs seem to lack focus with this respect.

Perhaps, graduate level courses/programs offer more promise? Also, what can one expect for a job with a background in synthetic biology and genetic engineering?

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...

Thread 'Fermentation using mixed legume and grain feedstock'

I use ethanol for cleaning glassware and resin 3D prints. The glassware is sometimes used for food. If possible, I'd prefer to only keep one grade of ethanol on hand. I've made sugar mash, but that is hardly the least expensive feedstock for ethanol. I had given some thought to using wheat flour, and for this I would need a source for amylase enzyme (relevant data, but not the core question). I am now considering animal feed that I have access to for 20 cents per pound. This is a...
