Abstract
One of the most remarkable features of biological systems is their ability to adapt to the constantly changing environment. By harnessing principles of control theory, synthetic biologists are starting to mimic this adaptation in regulatory gene circuits. Doing so allows for the construction of systems that perform reliably under non-optimal conditions. Furthermore, making a system adaptive can make up for imperfect knowledge of the underlying biology and, hence, avoid unforeseen complications in the implementation. Here, we review recent developments in the analysis and implementation of adaptive regulatory networks in synthetic biology with a particular focus on genetic circuits that can realize perfect adaptation.
期刊介绍：
Current Opinion in Systems Biology is a new systematic review journal that aims to provide specialists with a unique and educational platform to keep up-to-date with the expanding volume of information published in the field of Systems Biology. It publishes polished, concise and timely systematic reviews and opinion articles. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion on the topics discussed. As this is such a broad discipline, we have determined themed sections each of which is reviewed once a year. The following areas will be covered by Current Opinion in Systems Biology: -Genomics and Epigenomics -Gene Regulation -Metabolic Networks -Cancer and Systemic Diseases -Mathematical Modelling -Big Data Acquisition and Analysis -Systems Pharmacology and Physiology -Synthetic Biology -Stem Cells, Development, and Differentiation -Systems Biology of Mold Organisms -Systems Immunology and Host-Pathogen Interaction -Systems Ecology and Evolution
