Synthetic biology aims to design and build new biological parts and systems or to modify existing ones for useful purposes such as the creation of new fuels, ingredients for medicines, and oils for use in food and cosmetics.  It has been widely suggested that synthetic biology is redefining manufacturing and redefining life itself.
