Guest Editorial AI-Driven Synthetic Biology for Human Wellbeing

The papers in this special section focus on artificial intelligence-drive applications for synthetic biology that promote human well being. Synthetic biology is an important branch of biological science, which is different and even completely opposite from traditional research direction on biology. It is obvious that synthetic biology will promote the next biotechnology revolution. At present, related researches are not limited in the painstaking splicing of genes, but have begun to construct genetic codes in order to construct new organisms using synthetic genetic factors. Specially, it is estimated that synthetic biology will have excellent application prospects in many fields, including the production of more effective vaccines, new drugs, biology based manufacturing, the production of sustainable energy, the biological treatment of environmental pollution, and biosensors that can detect toxic chemicals. In this way, synthetic biology is expected to make rapid progress in the next few years.
