Could Synthetic Biology Offer Better Regulation and Control in Genetically-Modified Organisms?

Arindam Sarkar*

Synthetic biology is a tool which allows one to study the elaborate design of biological systems. It allows one to reconstruct or redesign the genome of an organism for a specific purpose. It helps engineer new organisms or systems, which do not exist in nature to generate useful products from inexpensive and renewable resources.
