Synthetic Biology in a Nutshell
It turns out that DNA can also store pretty much any information that a computer could, only it can do it for hundreds of thousands of years, and in a more efficient way. If all the information in the world was stored into DNA, it would only take the equivalent size of a shoebox (filled with DNA) to do it.

You can tell the field has been developing quite a lot when you know that we now have more than one programming language, just to design biological circuits.

Synthetic Biology in a Nutshell
Indeed, synthetic biology is built upon computing logic . So in order to understand its principles, we need to know how this way of thinking relates to the apparently messy life.
Synthetic Biology in a Nutshell
Some of the various disciplines involved are biotechnology, systems biology, biophysics, chemical and biological engineering, electrical and computer engineering, control engineering, and evolutionary biology.
