"Synthetic biology is the design and construction of biological devices and systems for useful purposes." –Wikipedia page "At the most basic level, synthetic biologists ... want to engineer living cells to do something useful" –BioBuilder "The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM) is the premiere undergraduate Synthetic Biology competition. Student teams are given a kit of biological parts at the beginning of the summer from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Working at their own schools over the summer, they use these parts and new parts of their own design to build biological systems and operate them in living cells." –iGEM Foundation |
