Which of the following is NOT an example of synthetic biology?
A) assembling gene sequences together into genome and creating a living organism from it
B) creating a new metabolic pathway that produces a previously unidentified compound
C) developing a novel polyvalent vaccine
D) making Escherichia coli phototrophic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Developing a novel polyvalent vaccine involves using traditional methods of vaccination development and does not involve the manipulation of biological systems at the genetic level, which is the hallmark of synthetic biology. A, B, and D are all examples of synthetic biology, involving the construction of new biological systems and pathways through genetic engineering.
