Synthetic Genomes for Synthetic Biology [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Cell Biology, 2010 A genome synthesized entirely from scratch has been used to replace the native genome of a living cell, thus creating a new cell. This achievement marks a new frontier in synthetic biology to design and create genomes for organisms with few genetic tools and for applications in areas of energy, health care and the environment.

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 ...

Models for synthetic biology [PDF]
BMC Systems Biology, 2007 Synthetic biological engineering is emerging from biology as a distinct discipline based on quantification. The technologies propelling synthetic biology are not new, nor is the concept of designing novel biological molecules. What is new is the emphasis on system behavior.

Synthetic biology for synthetic chemistry
New Biotechnology, 2008 The richness and versatility of biological systems make them ideally suited to solve some of the world's most significant challenges, such as converting cheap, renewable resources into energy-rich molecules; producing high-quality, inexpensive drugs to fight disease; and remediating polluted sites.

The economics of synthetic biology
Molecular Systems Biology, 2007 Mol Syst Biol. 3: 117 Ten years ago, genetic engineering was limited to cutting and pasting DNA from existing organisms. Today's biologists can write down gene sequences that have never existed anywhere, place an order over the Internet, and receive the desired DNA by return mail.

Analog synthetic biology [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2014 We analyse the pros and cons of analog versus digital computation in living cells. Our analysis is based on fundamental laws of noise in gene and protein expression, which set limits on the energy, time, space, molecular count and part-count resources needed to compute at a given level of precision.

Ecological Firewalls for Synthetic Biology
iScience, 2022 While rapidly becoming a main thread in the development of new therapies, the rise of synthetic biology is also tied to concerns about the potential impact on ecosystems. That is particularly relevant in the of deployment in natural habitats, including the human microbiome. These concerns have boosted the analysis of diverse strategies of containment,

The synthetic biology future [PDF]
Bioengineered, 2014 Herein, I track the evolution of synthetic biology from its earliest incarnations more than 50 years ago, through the DIYbio revolution, to the next 50 years.

Is synthetic biology mechanical biology?
History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences, 2015 A widespread and influential characterization of synthetic biology emphasizes that synthetic biology is the application of engineering principles to living systems. Furthermore, there is a strong tendency to express the engineering approach to organisms in terms of what seems to be an ontological claim: organisms are machines.

Translational synthetic biology [PDF]
Systems and Synthetic Biology, 2015 Synthetic biology is a recent scientific approach towards engineering biological systems from both pre-existing and novel parts. The aim is to introduce computational aided design approach in biology leading to rapid delivery of useful applications. Though the term reprogramming has been frequently used in the synthetic biology community, currently the
