Abstract
Many biological circuits comprise sets of protein variants that interact with one another in a many-to-many, or promiscuous, fashion. These architectures can provide powerful computational capabilities that are especially critical in multicellular organisms. Understanding the principles of biochemical computations in these circuits could allow more precise control of cellular behaviors. However, these systems are inherently difficult to analyze, due to their large number of interacting molecular components, partial redundancies, and cell context dependence. Here, we discuss recent experimental and theoretical advances that are beginning to reveal how promiscuous circuits compute, what roles those computations play in natural biological contexts, and how promiscuous architectures can be applied for the design of synthetic multicellular behaviors.

期刊介绍：
In 2015, Cell Systems was founded as a platform within Cell Press to showcase innovative research in systems biology. Our primary goal is to investigate complex biological phenomena that cannot be simply explained by basic mathematical principles. While the physical sciences have long successfully tackled such challenges, we have discovered that our most impactful publications often employ quantitative, inference-based methodologies borrowed from the fields of physics, engineering, mathematics, and computer science. We are committed to providing a home for elegant research that addresses fundamental questions in systems biology.
