'''Synthetic Biology is an emerging field that aims to modify organisms for performing new tasks by either building new biological parts, devices and systems or by re-designing an already existing system. The goal is to manipulate living organism for useful purpose like sustainable production of fuels and pharmaceuticals, as well as, for helping on environmental problems.'''

'''The difference to classical molecular biology is the use of engineering concepts, as complexity, abstraction and standardization of parts into the design of molecular circuits. This approach allows to produce more reliable systems build from bottom to top (from genetic circuits to complex metabolic pathways), allowing to create more complex systems that the already known in classical molecular biology. This field requires easy access to standardized biological parts and devices, well-known cells where DNA programs can be assembled and powered, as well as, computational tools to analyze the created systems.
