Definition of Synthetic Biology

Synthetic Biology (also known as Synbio, Synthetic Genomics, Constructive Biology, Extreme Genetic Engineering or Systems Biology) – the design and construction of new biological parts, devices and systems that do not exist in the natural world and also the redesign of existing biological systems to perform specific tasks. Advances in nanoscale technologies – manipulation of matter at the level of atoms and molecules – are contributing to advances in synthetic biology.
