BioBricks are standardized DNA sequences that can be combined to create new biological functions. They are designed to be easily assembled and reused in various synthetic biology applications. This modular approach allows scientists to engineer organisms for specific purposes, such as producing biofuels or pharmaceuticals. The concept of BioBricks is part of the broader field of synthetic biology, which aims to redesign organisms for useful purposes. The BioBricks Foundation promotes the use of these building blocks to encourage innovation and collaboration among researchers, making it easier to share and develop new biological systems.
