| Abstract | Biological systems use complex networks of sensors and regulatory pathways to respond to and change their surrounding environments. In recent years, synthetic biologists strived to modify and repurpose these networks to change what organisms can do, and to use the modified or synthetic organisms for biotechnology, biomedicine and agriculture applications. However, our lack of knowledge about network function and organization often made it difficult to rationally design and successfully repurpose |
