| Sumario: | Summary The field of synthetic biology is evolving at a fast pace. It is advancing beyond single‐gene alterations in single hosts to the logical design of complex circuits and the development of integrated synthetic genomes. Recent breakthroughs in deep learning, which is increasingly used in de novo assembly of DNA components with predictable effects, are also aiding the discipline. Despite advances in computing, the field is still reliant on the availability of pre‐characterized DNA parts, whether natural or synthetic, to regulate gene expression in bacteria and make valuable compounds. In this review, we discuss the different bacterial synthetic biology methodologies employed in the creation of 5′ regulatory regions – promoters, untranslated regions and 5′‐end of coding sequences. We summarize methodologies and discuss their significance for each of the functional DNA components, and highlight the key advances made in bacterial engineering by concentrating on their flaws and strengths. We end the review by outlining the issues that the discipline may face in the near future. |
