Synthetic Biology and Biological Diversity Conservation Potential Positives and Negatives Impacts (original) (raw)

The synthetic biology is the application of science, technology and engineering to facilitate and accelerate the design and engineer (manufacture and or modification) biologically based parts or genetic materials, novel devices and systems in living organism to alter living or non living materials (European Commission 2014). It is also described as a “converging technology”. SB builds upon multiple fields, engineering, molecular biology, information technology, nanobiotechnology and system biology also named as systeomics. This technology is particular since it aims at the acceleration and facilitation of the process, for useful purposes.
