Synthetic Biology

This exciting field is evolving so rapidly that no widely accepted definitions exist. Common to many explanations is the idea of synthetic biology as the application of engineering principles to the fundamental components of biology.

All living organisms contain an instruction set that determines what they look like and what they do. These instructions are encoded in the organisms’s DNA — long and complex strings of molecules embedded in every living cell. This is an organism’s genetic code (or “genome”).

Humans have been altering the genetic code of plants and animals for millennia, by selectively breeding individuals with desirable features. As biotechnologists have learned more about how to read and manipulate this code, they have begun to take genetic information associated with useful features from one organism, and add it into another one. This is the basis of genetic engineering, and has allowed researchers to speed up the process of developing new breeds of plants and animals.

Welcome to the Biology Forums Dictionary!

This is a completely open and editable dictionary which utilizes a WIKI concept, so that everybody can make a contribution. Each term is intended to give a brief explanation of its meaning and reference similar terms in the dictionary.

Everyone is free to add and update content, so now you have a chance to add to the terms already existing in our free dictionary. If you discover a term that you think should be in our dictionary, you can easily add it here.

All content updates are closely monitored by our moderators. To make your contribution, you must first hold a Biology Forums account. Registration is quick, completely free, and also allows you to participate in our discussion forums.
