Parts are DNA sequences that contain primitive elements of biological function (ex. protein coding sequences, promoter sequences). Parts engineering refers to engineering or optimizing these different biological primitives to generate new user-defined functions. Genetic Devices are collections of parts that encode for a user-defined function. For example, a simple genetic device would be a promoter, a RBS, a gene and a terminator. One can increase the complexity of devices and modulate genetic function.
