Synthetic Biology
Synthetic Biology
Synthetic biology is an engineering discipline that aims to develop new biological systems for human use. To achieve this, synthetic biology learns from natural processes, redefines them for purposes beyond those addressed by nature, tests these newly designed systems, and iteratively improves them for better functionality. In this sense, synthetic biology harnesses the results of evolution to redesign biological systems for humankind. This book presents key concepts in synthetic biology in a clear and accessible manner, providing a foundational understanding of its tools and objectives. It is designed for readers interested in exploring the intersection of biology and engineering. Topics includes discovery of new genetic parts, computation in cells, responsive cellular sensors, environmental synthetic biology, genetic circuits, protein engineering and living biomaterials.
