Understanding Synthetic Biology: Key Concepts and Advantages
Key Concepts in Synthetic Biology
- Standardization: Synthetic biology emphasizes the creation of standardized biological parts, known as BioBricks, which can be easily assembled to build complex biological systems.
- Modular Design: Systems are designed in a modular fashion, allowing individual components to be swapped or modified without affecting the overall role.
- Computer-Aided Design: The use of computational tools to design and simulate biological systems before they are physically constructed is a hallmark of synthetic biology
