Standard Biological Parts
Standard Biological Parts are modular components used in synthetic biology to construct new biological systems. These parts can include genes, promoters, and other regulatory elements that can be combined in various ways to create desired functions in living organisms. By using standardized parts, scientists can simplify the design and assembly of complex biological systems.
The use of standard biological parts is often facilitated by platforms like BioBrick and iGEM, which provide a library of interchangeable components. This approach allows researchers to share and reuse parts, accelerating innovation and collaboration in the field of synthetic biology.
