Abstract
Synells are created by encapsulating components and iteratively optimizing each synell for a desired trait. Each synell is tested during each interation. Failed synells are discarded. Additional synell components are added during each iteration, with iterative optimization being repeated until synells having the trait are created. A method for synell reproduction includes creating a synell having a desired trait, determining a recipe for the synell, digitizing the recipe, and transmitting the digitized recipe to another location. The recipe is reconstituted at the other location and the synell is reproduced using the recipe. On-demand biosynthesis of synells includes generating droplets containing different synell components within a microfluidic device, fusing them into combinations, and storing them until a request for a synell having a particular trait is received. Fused droplets having the component combination for the trait, or being combinable to produce it, are retrieved and encapsulated to form the requested synell.
