Systems and Synthetic Biology
Systems and Synthetic Biology is a relatively new field in biomedical research. It focuses on engineering new or modified signaling proteins to create desired signaling pathways in the cell. Every living cell is an extremely complex machine expressing thousands of different proteins. Due to superb regulation, many cells, such as photoreceptors and other neurons in vertebrates, can live for decades. Cells can also self-reproduce by division, where both daughter cells are perfectly viable. Natural selection (the “blind watchmaker”, to use Dawkins’ expression) spent hundreds of millions of year to achieve this perfection. Due to elucidation of the intricacies of cellular regulatory mechanisms we can now play evolution on our time scale: re-design proteins and signaling pathways to achieve our ends.

Synthetic Genomics
Synthetic genomics is an early field of engineered science that uses parts of hereditary alteration on prior life frames with the plan of delivering some item or wanted conduct with respect to the living thing so made.Synthetic genomics joins strategies for the fake amalgamation of DNA with computational methods to plan it. These strategies permit researchers and specialists to build hereditary material that would be inconceivable or illogical to deliver utilizing more routine biotechnological approaches. For instance, utilizing manufacturedgenomics it is conceivable to outline and amass chromosomes, qualities and quality pathways, and even entire genomes.

Gene synthesis
Gene synthesis is a strategy in synthetic biology that is utilized to make create artificial genes in the research center. Currently based on solid-phase DNA synthesis, it contrasts from molecular cloning and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in that the client does not need in the first place prior DNA sequences. Accordingly, it is conceivable to make a totally synthetic double-stranded DNA molecule with no obvious cutoff points on either nucleotide sequence or size. The technique has been utilized to create utilitarian bacterial or yeast chromosomes containing around one million base sets. Late research likewise proposes the likelihood of making novel nucleobase pairs notwithstanding the two base pairs in nature, which could incredibly extend the likelihood of growing the genetic code. Gene editing or genome editing with built nucleases (GEEN) is a sort of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, deleted or replaced in the genome of an organism utilizing engineered nucleases, or "molecular scissors." These nucleases create site-specific double-strand breaks (DSBs) at craved areas in the genome. The induced double strand breaks are repaired through nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR), bringing about targeted mutations. There are at present four groups of engineered nucleases being utilized: Meganucleases, Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), Transcription Activator-Like Effector-based Nucleases (TALENs), and the CRISPR-Cas System.

Propels in the improvement of atomic devices for the inducible control of interpretation, interpretation, and protein debasement are the premise for the quickly developing configuration and development of engineered quality systems in mammalian cells. Nonetheless, progresses in manufactured science have been constrained by an absence of interoperable parts, strategies for powerfully testing organic frameworks and systems for the solid development and operation of mind boggling, higher-request systems. As these difficulties are tended to, manufactured scholars will have the capacity to develop helpful cutting edge engineered quality systems with certifiable applications in prescription, biotechnology, bioremediation and bioenergy.

These are an enzyme Called Cas9. This acts as a pair of ‘molecular scissors’ that can cut the two strands of DNA and a piece of RNA Called guide RNA (gRNA) which binds to DNA. The Cas9 follows the guide RNA to the same location in the DNA sequence and makes a cut across both strands of the DNA. At this stage the cell recognises that the DNA is damaged and tries to repair it.

Bio-Sensors and Bio-Electronics
A biosensor is an analytical device, used for the detection of an analyte,that combines a biological component with a physicochemical detector. Electrochemical biosensors are normally based on enzymatic catalysis of a reaction that produces or consumes electrons (such enzymes are rightly called redox enzymes). The sensor substrate usually contains three electrodes; a reference electrode, a working electrode and a counter electrode. Amperometric biosensors function by the production of a current when a potential is applied between two electrodes. They generally have response times, dynamic ranges and sensitivities similar to the potentiometric biosensors. The potentiometric biosensor, (potential produced at zero current) gives a logarithmic response with a high dynamic range. Such biosensors are often made by screen printing the electrode patterns on a plastic substrate, coated with a conducting polymer and then some protein (enzyme or antibody) is attached. They have only two electrodes and are extremely sensitive and robust. A microbial biosensor is an analytical device which integrates microorganism(s) with a physical transducer to generate a measurable signal proportional to the concentration of analytes.
