World has seen rapid development in the field of Information technology and Biotechnology over a decade. New experimental technologies developed in biotechnology and data available made it possible to perform experiments easily in less time and cost. These experiments also generate huge amount of data that may overwhelm even the most data‐savvy researchers. Data generated during experimentation give lot of scope for companies that provide products and services in the field of biotechnology and new opportunities for researchers. This huge data may create challenges to the researches using low‐throughput methods to handle and analyse data. Artificial intelligence plays prominent role in analysing huge data available in a systematic way and represent analysed data in a meaning full way. In todays time it is practically not possible to carry out research in biotechnology without utilising data available in public and private databases and artificial intelligence to analyse data. This book describes advancements and application of AI in the field of biotechnology.

Scientific advances over the past several decades have accelerated the ability to engineer existing organisms and to potentially create novel ones not found in nature. Synthetic biology, which collectively refers to concepts, approaches, and tools that enable the modification or creation of biological organisms, is being pursued overwhelmingly for beneficial purposes ranging from reducing the burden of disease to improving agricultural yields to remediating pollution. Although the contributions synthetic biology can make in these and other areas hold great promise, it is also possible to imagine malicious uses that could threaten U.S. citizens and military personnel. Making informed decisions about how to address such concerns requires a realistic assessment of the capabilities that could be misused. Biodefense in the Age of Synthetic Biology explores and envisions potential misuses of synthetic biology. This report develops a framework to guide an assessment of the security concerns related to advances in synthetic biology, assesses the levels of concern warranted for such advances, and identifies options that could help mitigate those concerns.
