This book introduces methods and technologies for the synthesis of genes, gene circuits, pathways, and genomes. It addresses issues of throughput and cost of synthesis, sequence design, optimization, and error correction. In addition, the text details applications in almost every experimental aspect of synthetic biology, including gene design and optimization, biomolecular engineering and evolution, metabolic engineering, as well as medical and environmental applications. The author also discusses biosafety, ethical and legal issues associated with the technology, and the synthetic biology field.
