biology

This report presents the findings of an exploratory public dialogue project, commissioned by the Royal Academy of Engineering (the Academy) and conducted by People Science and Policy Ltd (PSP) to explore uninformed and informed perceptions of and attitudes to synthetic biology in the UK. To our knowledge, this is the UK’s first public dialogue on synthetic biology. Synthetic biology is an emerging multidisciplinary research area that is underpinned by both engineering and science.

The Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology provides a comprehensive survey of current biochemistry and molecular biology. Over the last few years, the language of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has expanded enormously to the extent that few scientists can expect to be familiar with all aspects of it. This is partly due to the Genome projects and the successive -omics projects which have provided comprehensive information about genes, the functions of gene products, and cellular processes.
