I think the difference is the goal being to synthesize a biological
system. At the laboratory level it isn't any different than
molbio/cloning, but at the idea level synthetic biology is about
making new stuff or making it in a new way, while molecular biology
aims simply to understand ANY biological system at the molecular
level.
