The main goal of synthetic life is to recreate life from nonliving components. Synthetic biology attempts to create new biological molecules and even novel living species capable of carrying out a range of important medical and industrial functions. From manufacturing pharmaceuticals to detoxifying polluted land and water. In medicine, it offers prospects of using designer biological parts as a starting point for an entirely new class of therapies and diagnostic tools (Nature). One of the aims of synthetic biology is to understand the many interactions in living cells and by fabricating biological systems and understanding how they function. Since natural biological systems are so complex, scientists in this field start by making simple synthetic systems and then studying what factors affect that fabricated system. In this way, the "design" of future synthetic systems can be continually improved as well as gaining a deeper insight to the complex interactions within those biological systems. Thus, the idea is to understand the complex interactions in living systems by building and designing them from bottom to top. Originally, this was the aim of the field of systems biology, which aims to understand the complexity of living systems by taking all the biological interactions as a whole and then putting forth models in order to describe how they give rise to intricate
