Introduction & Relation to Synthetic Biology
Many definitions for synthetic biology exist and they continue to evolve. One aspect or definition states that synthetic biology is the application of engineering principles to biological systems. Semantics aside, one must consider the concepts to which these labels are applied. Metagenomics and bioprospecting are so-called umbrella terms that cover vast activities in the field of biological research. Consideration of biological organization greatly helps in understanding the meaning of metagenomics.
