Synthetic biology conceptualizes biological complexity as a network of biological parts,
devices, and systems with predetermined functionalities and has had a revolutionary impact …

Gene regulatory networks are perhaps the most important organizational level in the cell
where signals from the cell state and the outside environment are integrated in terms of …

This paper surveys modeling approaches for studying the evolution of gene regulatory
networks (GRNs). Modeling of the design or 'wiring'of GRNs has become increasingly …

Biological networks have evolved to be highly functional within uncertain environments
while remaining extremely adaptable. One of the main contributors to the robustness and …

Many applications in biomedicine and synthetic bioengineering rely on understanding,
mapping, predicting, and controlling the complex behavior of chemical and genetic …

Taking ideas from nature has been a theme of humanity's technological progress but it is
only our newfound expertise in molecular manipulation and complex nonlinear dynamics …

Developmental robotics is also known as epigenetic robotics. We propose in this paper that
there is one substantial difference between developmental robotics and epigenetic robotics …

Organisms that can learn about their environment and modify their behaviour appropriately
during their lifetime are more likely to survive and reproduce than organisms that do not …

Synthetic regulatory networks with prescribed functions are engineered by assembling a
reduced set of functional elements. We could also assemble them computationally if the …

In biological organisms, networks of chemical reactions control the processing of information
in a cell. A general approach to study the behavior of these networks is to analyze common …
