The fusion of biology, computer science, and engineering: towards efficient and successful synthetic biology.
Synthetic biology is a nascent field that emerged in earnest only around the turn of the millennium. It aims to engineer new biological systems and impart new biological functionality, often through genetic modifications. The design and construction of new biological systems is a complex, multistep process, requiring multidisciplinary collaborative efforts from "fusion" scientists who have form...
متن کاملSynthetic biology: an emerging engineering discipline.
Over the past decade, synthetic biology has emerged as an engineering discipline for biological systems. Compared with other substrates, biology poses a unique set of engineering challenges resulting from an incomplete understanding of natural biological systems and tools for manipulating them. To address these challenges, synthetic biology is advancing from developing proof-of-concept designs ...
متن کاملSynthetic tissue biology: tissue engineering meets synthetic biology.
We propose the term "synthetic tissue biology" to describe the use of engineered tissues to form biological systems with metazoan-like complexity. The increasing maturity of tissue engineering is beginning to render this goal attainable. As in other synthetic biology approaches, the perspective is bottom-up; here, the premise is that complex functional phenotypes (on par with those in whole met...
متن کاملSynthetic biology - putting engineering into biology
Synthetic biology is interpreted as the engineering-driven building of increasingly complex biological entities for novel applications. Encouraged by progress in the design of artificial gene networks, de novo DNA synthesis and protein engineering, we review the case for this emerging discipline. Key aspects of an engineering approach are purpose-orientation, deep insight into the underlying sc...
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 ...
