What is the difference between synthetic biology and systems biology? How does genetic engineering fit in?

Systems biology studies complex natural biological systems as integrated wholes, using tools of modeling, simulation, and comparison to experiment. Synthetic biology studies how to build artificial biological systems, using many of the same tools and experimental techniques. The focus is often on taking parts of natural biological systems, characterizing and simplifying them, and using them as components of an engineered biological system.

Genetic engineering usually involves the transfer of individual genes from one microbe or cell to another; synthetic biology envisions the assembly of novel microbial genomes from a set of standardized genetic parts that are then inserted into a microbe or cell.

What are some goals of synthetic biology?

Synthetic biologists are working to develop:

  • Standardized biological parts -- identify and catalog standardized genomic parts that can be used (and synthesized quickly) to build novel biological systems;
  • Applied protein design -- re-design existing biological parts and expand the set of natural protein functions for new processes;
  • Natural product synthesis -- engineer microbes to produce all of the necessary enzymes and biological functions to perform complex multistep production of natural products; and
  • Synthetic genomics -- design and construct a ‘simple’ genome for a natural bacterium.

Synthetic biology 2020–2033: six commercially-available products that are changing our world

Synthetic biology will transform how we grow food, what we eat, and where we source materials and medicines. Here I have selected six products that are now on the market, highlighting the underlying technologies and projecting forward to the future that can be expected over the next 13 years.

“The time has come for synthetic biologists to develop more real-world applications […] the field has had its hype phase, now it needs to deliver.” So concluded an infamous article in 2010. Early research struggled to design cells and physically build DNA with pre-2010 projects often failing due to uncertainty and variability. Since then, rapid technological advances occurred that are well-reviewed in this series of commentaries. Products from synthetic biology are rapidly permeating society and by 2030, it is highly likely that you will have eaten, worn, used or been treated with one.

While there are many biotechnology, pharmaceutical and agriculture companies, I selected those products that best highlight the application of synthetic biology tools developed 2000–2020 and are available now or by early 2021. The first three represent chemicals produced by engineered cells or enzymes (leghemoglobin, sitgaliptin, diamines) that are isolated and purified For the second three, the products are the engineered cells themselves (engineered bacteria, CAR-Ts, genome edited soy). The development of these was enabled by advances in metabolic engineering, directed evolution (awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize), automated strain engineering, metagenomic discovery, gene circuit design, and genome editing (awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize)

What else does the future hold?

A futurist animation envisioned people flying in bee-copters, trees that grow into houses and squid-like living spaceships. This might be hyperbole, but I also see it as a way to depict the emergence of biology-derived components across society: insect materials in aerospace, the toxic glues in architectural materials replaced with mycelia and NASA turning to synthetic biology to produce food and medicine during long space travel. The next decade will see more products that derive their superior performance and affordability from engineered biology. Already, the field is having an impact. The products described here total ~$2 billion in annual sales, and the contribution from non-medical applications will grow steadily. We are the cusp of a deluge of new innovations; in 2030, writing a commentary such as this one could require reviewing hundreds, if not thousands, of products.

With population increases and more products being derived from fermentation, sugar will become a less viable feedstock to make consumer goods. Over the next decades, new microbial chasses will need to be developed that can derive carbon from alternative sources, such as plastic waste, or CO2 from the atmosphere either directly or by coupling to an inorganic “artificial leaf”. Fresh water is also a limited resource that is heavily used in fermentation and halophilic chases could be developed that grow in bioreactors containing ocean water. Cell-free manufacturing offers the potential to reduce the water usage, physical footprint and cellular uncertainty.

After 2033, products will shift to systems, where cells are designed to work together or be integrated into non-living materials or electronics. In agriculture, functions could be distributed across the engineered plant and bacteria symbioses designed to interlock and communicate with each other and with UAVs, receiving information and sending signals to control gene expression in response. The burger patty of the future may be grown using consortia of bacteria, fungi, and livestock cells, similar to yoghurt or cheese, that work together to build tactile structures and synthesize molecules for nutrition, flavor and fragrance. Architectural materials, reminiscent of Singapore’s living buildings, could be embedded with living engineered cells that provide responsive functions, such as self-healing or to clear air pollution.
