Developments in the tools and methodologies of synthetic biology. [PDF]
, 2014 Synthetic biology is principally concerned with the rational design and engineering of biologically based parts, devices, or systems. However, biological systems are generally complex and unpredictable, and are therefore, intrinsically difficult to ...

Editorial–Synthetic Biology [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2010 Synthetic biology builds upon over 35 years of genetic engineering. For example, in the 1970s methods were invented for using enzymes to rework DNA. Applying these tools, bacteria were engineered to yield relevant products such as growth hormones and insulin.

Synthetic biology's flywheel [PDF]
EMBO reports, 2012 Producing drugs and chemicals efficiently from cells remains a major challenge. Synthetic biologists need to invent the equivalents of the crank and flywheel to improve productivity.

Trends in Plant Science, 2015 Plant synthetic biology is an emerging field that combines engineering principles with plant biology toward the design and production of new devices. This emerging field should play an important role in future agriculture for traditional crop improvement, but also in enabling novel bioproduction in plants. In this review we discuss the design cycles of

Chemical communication between synthetic and natural cells: a possible experimental design [PDF]
, 2013 The bottom-up construction of synthetic cells is one of the most intriguing and interesting research arenas in synthetic biology. Synthetic cells are built by encapsulating biomolecules inside lipid vesicles (liposomes), allowing the synthesis of one or ...

Science Progress, 2014 Although both the most popular form of synthetic biology (SB) and chemical synthetic biology (CSB) share the biotechnologically useful aim of making new forms of life, SB does so by using genetic manipulation of extant microorganism, while CSB utilises classic chemical procedures in order to obtain biological structures which are non-existent in ...

‘Can Simple Biological Systems be Built from Standardized Interchangeable Parts?’:Negotiating Biology and Engineering in a Synthetic Biology Competition [PDF]
, 2013 Synthetic biology represents a recent attempt to bring engineering principles and practices to working with biology. In practice, the nature of the relationship between engineering and biology in synthetic biology is a subject of ongoing debate.
