This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the
opportunities and challenges of the complex field of synthetic
biology, which combines various scientific disciplines. The
emerging field of synthetic biology employs biotechnological
approaches to recreate and enhance basic biological structures,
intracellular processes and whole organisms. The book addresses a
broad range of topics, including redesigning complex metabolic
pathways, DNA/RNA and protein engineering, as well as novel
synthetic biomaterials. It discusses both "bottom up" and "top
down" approaches and presents the latest genome engineering tools
with predictions about how these could change our way of thinking
and working. Since the use of synthetic biology raises a number of
ethical questions, a chapter is devoted to public awareness and
risk management.The book is of interest to scientists from both
academia and industry, as well as PhD students and postdocs working
in the field
