New Frontiers and Applications of Synthetic Biology

New Frontiers and Applications of Synthetic Biology represents a collection of chapters from eminent synthetic biologists across the globe who have established experience and expertise in working with synthetic biology. Synthetic biology is a rapidly growing field that employs the application of engineering principles to biology. This book offers several important areas of synthetic biology which allow us to read and understand easily. This book covers the introduction of synthetic biology and design of promoter, new DNA synthesis and sequencing technology, genome assembly, minimal cells, small synthetic RNA, directed evolution, protein engineering, computational tools, de novo synthesis, phage engineering, a sensor for microorganisms, next-generation diagnostic tools, and CRISPR-Cas systems. It also covers applications of synthetic biology for developing smart vaccine and therapeutic, drug discovery and development, delivery systems, self-assembled living materials, cell-free systems, and microfluidics. This book is a good source not only researchers in designing in synthetic biology, but also for researchers, students, synthetic biologists, metabolic engineers, genome engineers, clinicians, industrialists, stakeholders and policymakers interested in harnessing the potential of synthetic biology in many areas. Offers basic understanding and knowledge in several aspects of synthetic biology Covers state-of-the-art tools and technologies of synthetic biology including, promoter design, DNA synthesis, DNA sequencing, genome design, directed evolution, protein engineering, computational tools, phage design, CRISPR-Cas systems and many Discusses the applications of synthetic biology for smart drug, vaccines, therapeutics, drug discovery, self-assembled materials, cell free systems, microfluidics and many
