* '''Designer Microbe''' — "A Microorganism" "Whose Genome" has been "Substantially Modified" or "Partially Synthesized" to "Give It" "New" "Metabolic Capabilities."
* '''Metabolic Engineering''' — "The Targeted" "Modification" of "An Organism's Metabolism" to "Increase" "Production" of "A Desired Compound."
* '''Synthetic Biology''' — (See Article 692). "The Application" of "Engineering Principles" to "Biology": "Designing" "Biological Systems" like "Circuits" and "Devices."
* '''Genetic Circuit''' — "A Network" of "Genes" "Designed" to "Respond" to "Specific" "Input Signals" and "Produce" "Desired" "Outputs" (like an "Electronic" "Logic Gate").
* '''Minimal Genome''' — "The Smallest" "Set" of "Genes" "Sufficient" for "A Cell" to "Survive." (JCVI Syn3.0: 473 genes). "The Starting Point" for "Designer Organisms."
* '''Artemisinin''' — "A Malaria Drug" previously "Sourced Only" from "A Rare Plant" — "Now Produced" by **"Engineered Yeast"** at "Industrial Scale" (Jay Keasling, UC Berkeley).
* '''Spider Silk from Bacteria''' — "A Material" "Stronger than Steel" — "Now Produced" by "Bacteria" "Given" the "Spider Silk Gene."
* '''Cell-Free Synthesis''' — "Performing" "Biological" "Synthesis Reactions" with "Cell Extracts" (Ribosomes, Enzymes) "Without" "A Living Cell" — "Faster" and "More Controllable."
* '''The iGEM Registry''' — (International Genetically Engineered Machine). "A Public" "Library" of **"Standard" "Biological Parts"** (BioBricks) for "Building" "Genetic Circuits."
* '''Biosafety Level''' — "A Classification" of "Containment Precautions" required for "Work" with "Biological Agents": **"Critical"** for "Designer Microbe" "Research."
