摘要

仅仅经过十年多的时间,建立在遗传工程基础上的合成生物学已发展成为一个多层面的领域,激动人心,但有时也存在争议。目前正在研发中的工具使得现有自然生物系统能够被重新设计来执行特定任务,也使得人们能够设计和创造具有超过自然界中生物系统所具有之功能的新生物系统。配合Nature Methods和Nature Reviews Microbiology上发表的相关文章,本期Nature也发表了一组报告和评论,分析合成生物学的现状,推测不远的将来会有哪些惊人的进展。%Until just a short time ago, the boundaries of biology were set by nature. But those limits are receding. In the past decade, the field of synthetic biology has shattered the idea that living cells must stick to the biomolecular widgets that have evolved naturally. Synthetic biology - a more complex form of genetic engineering - allows researchers to assemble molecular gears on an entirely new scale. From such tools, biological freedom has emerged; even the rule that DNA's alphabet consists of just four letters has been thrown out of the window. In this special issue, Nature surveys the messy landscape of synthetic biology and the various scientific tribes that are pushing it forward. Although the field is young, it is already divided into factions that foresee different futures.
