Automated prototyping of genetic codes

TL;DR - A robotic, cell-free platform rapidly prototypes redesigned genetic codes, allowing proteins to be translated with reassigned codons and non-standard amino acids. This could accelerate genetic-code engineering while avoiding direct modification of living genomes.

• Combines automation with a cell-free protein translation system.
• Tests codon reassignments outside living cells.
• Supports incorporation of non-standard amino acids into proteins.
• Reduces the need for slower, riskier genome-level engineering during prototyping.
