摘要

理性地设计微生物的能力是一个早已设想的目标,追溯可达五十多年前。随着1990年代基因组学革命和系统生物学的兴起,诞生了一门严谨的工程学科,旨在创造、控制和编程细胞行为。由此产生的领域称为合成生物学,在过去十年中经历了显著的增长,并有望在生物技术和医学领域引发变革。本文时间线文章描绘了合成生物学的技术和文化发展历程,重点关注关键突破和未来挑战。

英文摘要

The ability to rationally engineer microorganisms has been a long-envisioned goal dating back more than a half-century. With the genomics revolution and rise of systems biology in the 1990s came the development of a rigorous engineering discipline to create, control and programme cellular behaviour. The resulting field, known as synthetic biology, has undergone dramatic growth throughout the past decade and is poised to transform biotechnology and medicine. This Timeline article charts the technological and cultural lifetime of synthetic biology, with an emphasis on key breakthroughs and future challenges.
