Foreword
I am delighted to write a brief introductory message for the Advances of Synthetic Biology, a scholarly presentation in the rapidly evolving field of synthetic biology. Synthetic biology is a science of engineering biological systems from elementary parts like genes, RNA and proteins towards building higher order structures ranging from biomolecular interactions to pathways to multicellular networks. The key is to use data from reductionist approaches like molecular biology and biochemistry integrated into computational databases and models to generate standards and composition protocols for engineering biological systems. Once the rational design principles of constructing biological systems are standardized, applications in the area of health, energy and environment would be a natural consequence. Currently efforts are also under way to design cellular factories towards an uninterrupted production of chemicals and biochemicals at an affordable cost. This book fulfils an important unmet need to bring out key ideas and approaches towards building functional biomolecular interactions and networks. This book deals with the design of synthetic promoter, ribosome binding site, transcription factor, small non-coding RNA, transcription terminator a
