Synthetic Biology - A great video explaining what synthetic biology is, and the amazing possibilities it opens up for future engineering capabilities. Given the now complete sequencing of the human genome, and our increased understanding of genetic code that followed, the field is now advancing to the stage where the manipulation of genetic traits has become possible. The tools of synthetic biology combine genetic science with that of engineering and software development, turning DNA into a programming language for new lifeforms.
