What is Synthetic Biology?
Synthetic biology has always tested the limitations of what is possible. Synthetic biology is a combination of multiple scientific disciplines that promises to transform sectors from medicine to bioenergy. Using the building blocks of life, it is possible to create breakthrough drugs, vaccines, sustainable biofuels and to advance plant science.
How it works:
- Decoding Nature's Blueprint: The first step is to understand and isolate key components of natural biological systems.
- Engineering with Precision: These parts are then reassembled, drawing on principles of rational design, to create new biological pathways.
- Modularity is Key: Emphasizing a modular DNA design allows for the mixing and matching of components, which leads to various potential constructs.
- Predicting the Unpredictable: Introducing new DNA into cells can have unforeseen effects. Therefore, multiple tests should be run to ensure the desired results.
- Speed and Efficiency: Automation has helped streamline the assembly process, resulting in faster production, reduced manual labor, and lower costs. These improvements culminate in a shorter development cycle.
