Squaring a Circle: To What Extent Are Traditional Circuit Analogies Impeding Synthetic Biology? by Ilia, Katherine, Del Vecchio, Domitilla

“…Rather than pursuing modularity, we could aim for a robust and scalable design framework that embraces the uncertainty that context dependence brings to engineering in a biological chassis. Systems and control theory offer a starting point, but a substantial conceptual leap will be needed to quantitatively predict system behavior and establish flexible context-aware design processes. …”
