Synthetic biology—putting engineering into biology [PDF]
Abstract 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.

Chemistry is a broadly powerful discipline in contemporary science because it has the ability to create new forms of the matter that it studies. By doing so, chemistry can test models that connect molecular structure to behaviour without having to rely on what nature has provided.

Synthetic biology of hypoxia [PDF]
SummarySynthetic biology can greatly aid the investigation of fundamental regulatory mechanisms and enable their direct deployment in the host organisms of choice. In the field of plant hypoxia physiology, a synthetic biology approach has recently been exploited to infer general properties of the plant oxygen sensing mechanism, by expression of plant ...

Synthetic biology: biology by design [PDF]
Synthetic biology can be defined as the design and construction of novel biologically based parts, devices and systems, as well as the redesign of existing natural biological systems, for useful purposes. It builds on genetic engineering, being design-driven genetic engineering encompassing engineering concepts of standardization and abstraction (Endy,

A synthetic transcription platform for programmable gene expression in mammalian cells
Precise and scalable regulation of gene expression in mammalian cells is challenging. Here, the authors created a highly tunable CRISPR-based synthetic transcription system for programmable control of mammalian gene expression and cellular activity.
