Decoupling of DNA - syntheses from constructional and functional gene design was anticipated as early as SB2.0 in Berkeley 2006. This process, which is in a direct analogy to the manufacturing of hard discs and memory sticks now seems to approach its finalization. On the other side of the coin is the very interesting topic of predictive functional programming of genes for desired application purposes. It accumulated high levels of knowledge over the time frame of the last years not only in the scene of protagonists like Mutalik VK et al. (2013), Goler et al. (2008) and Andrianantoandro E. (2006) but Rössger K et al. (2013) and Arkin AP and Fussenegger M. (2013) even on very high impact. But also in company environments with academic and company clients many projects are realized straight along to the customers desires and ideas without the high visibility on the list of authors of publications.
