Handbook/Reference Book
Short Description
This two-volume treatise is the first authoritative reference on this emerging topic, focusing on research in synthetic biology and including contributions by a number of "founding fathers" in the field.
Further versions
These two volumes contain a selection of updated articles from the acclaimed Meyers Encyclopedia of Molecular Cell Biology and Molecular Medicine, the most authoritative resource in cell and molecular biology, combined with new articles by "founding fathers" in the field.
The work is divided into six sections:
+ Biological Basis
+ Modeling
+ Modular Parts and Circuits
+ Synthetic Genomes
+ Diseases and Therapeutics
+ Chemicals Production.
Ideally suited as advanced reading for students and postdocs, and with all current research trends covered by an impressive number of leading figures in the field, this is the first choice reference for research institutions.
