Abstract( l8 s' ^) t/ G7 c
Synthetic biology is an emerging transdisciplinary approach that combines tools from engineering, computer and information sciences with biotechnological methods, in order to study and transform living beings. It addresses questions that span from essential characteristics of life to sophisticated modifications of -mostly- micro-organisms in relation with medical, environmental, or industrial issues. But in comparing genomes to softwares and cells to upgradable small computers, synthetic biologist uses a metaphoric and deterministic storytelling that deserves to be challenged, for it has been proven outdated on many aspects by recent findings in cellular biology and complexity sciences. Furthermore, synthetic biology needs to clarify its connections with Darwinian and ecological dynamics to avoid some major epistemological dead-ends and illusions from genocentric visions of biology, in order to be credible and promising both as a fundamental and an applied discipline.
