Gene editing and synthetic biology are two techniques that go hand in hand but differ ever so slightly. It is this slight divergence that makes a world of a difference. Gene editing is defined as the process of editing an organism’s DNA by altering‚ removing or adding nucleotides to the genome. Whereas synthetic biology is defined as a combination of molecular biology and systems biology with engineering principles to design biological systems and bio-factories‚ or the use of molecular biology tools

Differences and Effects of Natural and Synthetic Fertilizers At the core of the growth and germination of plants lie the nutrients they receive from the soil. The nutrients required for growth are classified into two groupings‚ macronutirents and micronutrients. Macronutrients are those that are needed in very large amounts‚ and whose absence can do a great harm to the development of the plant life. These nutrients include calcium‚ nitrogen‚ phosphorus‚ and potassium‚ and are very sparse
