Synthetic Biology (SB) is a revolutionary discipline with a vast
range of practical applications, but is SB research really based on
engineering principles? Does it contributing to the artificial
synthesis of life or does it utilise approaches sufficiently
advanced to fall outside the scope of biotechnology or metabolic
engineering? This volume reviews the development of SB and includes
the major milestones of the discipline, the 'top-down' and
'bottom-up' approaches towards the construction of an artificial
cell and the development of the "iGEM" competition. We conclude
that SB is an emerging field with extraordinary technological
potential, but that most research projects actually are an
extension of metabolic engineering since the complexity of living
organisms, their tight dependence on evolution and our limited
knowledge of the interactions between the molecules, actually make
life difficult to engineer.
