On the way to synthetic biology

Work in the field of synthetic biology are located in the early stages of the construction of living cells intended for the treatment of diseases, the detection of toxic compounds in the environment and the production of valuable drugs. Thanks to this book, you have the opportunity to join the world of synthetic developments. This manual based on the Biobuilder curriculum provides free access to practical classes organized in the form of modules, as well as to research in the walls of the laboratory. For enthusiasts, this publication may be a kind of introduction to biotechnology.
developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in cooperation with experienced teachers, the Biobuilder program opens the fundamental ideas of synthetic biology in the formation of synthetic biology. The program also introduces the key aspects of the bio -design, on which scientists around the world work in their laboratories. Such lessons allow you to explore the urgent problems of the real world and take part in their solution.
