Synthetic biology is a field of science that involves engineering life – editing and redesigning the biological components, systems, and interactions that make up life. By doing this, SynBio can grant organisms new abilities that are beneficial to humans. It has the potential to reshape many facets of society – from the ways we produce food, to how we detect and cure diseases. (Image: News18 Creative)
SynBio is more granular than genetic engineering. While genetic engineering transfers ready-made genetic material between organism. SynBio builds new genetic material from scratch. (Image: News18 Creative)
