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 کاملDesign and characterization of molecular tools for a Synthetic Biology approach towards developing cyanobacterial biotechnology
Cyanobacteria are suitable for sustainable, solar-powered biotechnological applications. Synthetic biology connects biology with computational design and an engineering perspective, but requires efficient tools and information about the function of biological parts and systems. To enable the development of cyanobacterial Synthetic Biology, several molecular tools were developed and characterize...
متن کاملDeveloping Robust Synthetic Biology Designs Using a Microfluidic Robot Scientist
Synthetic Biology is an emerging discipline that is providing a conceptual framework for biological engineering based on principles of standardisation, modularity and abstraction. For this approach to achieve the ends of becoming a widely applicable engineering discipline it is critical that the resulting biological devices are capable of functioning according to a given specification in a robu...
متن کاملAlgal models in plant biology.
During the last three decades, plant science has focused on model organism-based approaches, particularly on exploiting the powerful system represented by Arabidopsis thaliana, for which there are a wide range of genetic and genomic resources available. Increasingly, however, there is a tendency to broaden analyses to include multiple study organisms in an attempt to understand biological proce...
متن کاملSteps towards the synthetic biology of polyketide biosynthesis
Nature is providing a bountiful pool of valuable secondary metabolites, many of which possess therapeutic properties. However, the discovery of new bioactive secondary metabolites is slowing down, at a time when the rise of multidrug-resistant pathogens and the realization of acute and long-term side effects of widely used drugs lead to an urgent need for new therapeutic agents. Approaches such...
