The new field of Synthetic Biology is based upon
the adoption of (i) engineering principles of
abstraction and modularity, (ii) computational
tools from Systems Biology and (iii) new genetic
engineering techniques and components – for
the rational design and assembly of new
biological systems. It is a practical subject,
concerned with the construction of new living
artifacts. The new interdisciplinary field is being
propelled by the need for improved plant and
microbial feedstocks, bioenergy sources, and
new catalysts for bioprocessing. Synthetic
Biology is seeing a rising tide of new scientific
activities, research funding and commercial
investment.
