Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology
Synthetic biotechnology involves the manipulation of biological compounds like integration of synthetic aminoacids into proteins, DNA synthesis and manipulation using synthetic sequences, oligonucleotide synthesis, protein modification using synthetic compounds etc. the compounds produced synthetically are orthogonally integrated into cells which are chosen to provide suitable experimental strategy.
Synthetic biology represents a convergence of advances in chemistry, biology, computer science, and engineering. systematic methods for increasing the speed, scale, and precision with which we engineer biological systems. In a sense, synthetic biology can be thought of as the development of a biology-based “toolkit” that enables improved products across many industries, including medicine, energy and the environment.The manipulations in the wild type system by the engineered systems are studied varying their efficiency.
