Well to be honest I still don't see the difference between synthetic biology and molecular biology. People have been cloning this into that and doing gene shuffling for decades now, and it was never called "synthetic". The only thing that pops into my mind when synthetic biology is brought up was when the Craig Venter institute synthesized the entire genome of an organism, a few million base pairs. I suppose if you have the resources you can dream up anything and synthesize the entire plasmid or genome of what you want, but it seems like most people still do a lot of core fundamental molecular bio to get what they want.
