Abstract:
Synthetic biology in Thailand offers vast opportunities, from enhancing agriculture and food production to developing sustainable chemicals and biomaterials, advancing renewable energy and advancing pharmaceutical and healthcare services. Although Thailand ranks among the top 10 in Asia for biotechnology research output, it still faces several challenges. This includes insufficient and inconsistent research funding, limited development of new tools and technologies and a fragmented funding scheme. Thailand's ten-year engineering and synthetic biology strategy tackles these issues through three main components: creating a supportive ecosystem, strengthening knowledge foundations and enhancing industrial technological capabilities. The goal is to establish engineering and synthetic biology as a basis for innovative and high-value products and services, which would promote sustainable national growth.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
