Abstract

Synthetic biology leverages engineering principles to program biology with new functions for applications in medicine, energy, food, and the environment. A central aspect of synthetic biology is the creation of synthetic gene circuits - engineered biological circuits capable of performing operations, detecting signals, and regulating cellular functions. Their development involves large design spac…
