| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
The aim of synthetic biology is to apply engineering principles to biological systems with the hopes that biology can be understood, manipulated, predicted, and modelled. As synthetic biology was launched by computer scientists and electrical engineers as well as biologists, a parallel was drawn between genetic code and computer code, and so genomes were now perceived as something that could be ‘debugged’. Synthetic in this context is not intended to have the connotation of something artificial or a poor imitation, but rather an improvement on the original.
