Ethical Debates on Synthetic Biology
Background: As an emerging interdisciplinary area of science with a multitude of potential facilities and applications, synthetic biology integrates different disciplines with one another ranging from basic science to engineering. This interdisciplinary branch therefore encompasses sciences that require specific development and ethical approaches. Materials and Methods: Science management princ...
متن کاملFrom systems biology to synthetic biology
If each of us conveys our idiosyncratic view of the elephant, then we, in communion, can imagine its wholeness (Ireland, 1997). An analogous process elucidates Molecular Systems Biology (MSB) and this journal is dedicated to it. The work of a scientist/engineer (seer for short) consists of discovery, modeling, perturbation, and invention. Cycling through these is a key practice of biology. Addi...
متن کاملBridging the gap between systems biology and synthetic biology
Systems biology is an inter-disciplinary science that studies the complex interactions and the collective behavior of a cell or an organism. Synthetic biology, as a technological subject, combines biological science and engineering, allowing the design and manipulation of a system for certain applications. Both systems and synthetic biology have played important roles in the recent development ...
متن کاملAn Executable Biology Methodology for Systems and Synthetic Biology
In this paper we introduce a stochastic executable biology methodology that can be used for systems and synthetic biology research. Our methodology is based on a rigorous computational formalism, P systems, that capture the three essential components of living systems: membranes, information molecules (e.g. DNA, RNA, amino acid sequences) and metabolism. The mathematical structure of our formal...
متن کاملSynthetic Biology: Engineering Biological Systems
On June 26, 2000, President Bill Clinton and Prime Minister Tony Blair, along with Francis Collins, director of the Human Genome Project at the NIH, and Craig Venter, president of Celera Genomics, announced the arrival of the genomic era with the sequencing of the first draft sequence of the human genome. With this wealth of information, scientists and policy-makers alike were eager to welcome ...
