Department of Biological Engineering synthetic biology governance Discussion of policy options for regulation of DNA synthesis technology. Gene and genome synthesis, that is, constructing long stretches of DNA from constituent chemicals, provides scientists with new and unparalleled capabilities both for understanding biology and for using it for beneficial purposes. But along with new capabilities come new risks. Alfred P.
