Welcome

Welcome to Biological Circuit Design, a web-based book (in progress) focusing on quantitative studies of cellular and developmental systems in biology, including the architecture of specific genetic circuits controlling microbial behaviors and multicellular development in model organisms. Our goals are to build understanding of key principles of systems biology and to develop skills for modeling and analysis of genetic circuits.

Pardon our dust!

This book is under construction. Furthermore, we recently switched to a new build system, so some (maybe many) links may be broken, figures may not all render properly, etc. So, please pardon our dust!
