Synthetic biology
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary branch of biology, combining disciplines such as biotechnology, evolutionary biology, molecular biology, systems biology, biophysics, computer engineering, and genetic engineering.The definition of synthetic biology is debated not only among natural scientists but also in the human sciences, arts and politics. One popular definition is ""designing and constructing biological devices, biological systems, and biological machines for useful purposes."" However, the functional aspects of this definition stem from molecular biology and biotechnology.
