SPOTLIGHT
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Web focus: SYNTHETIC SYSTEMS BIOLOGY
Ten years ago, Nature published a pair of seminal papers that stimulated
'systems biology' thinking in the field. A web focus gathers these two
papers together with papers more recently published by Nature in the
same spirit.
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=4&m=34614952&r=MTc2NzE1NzUzNAS2&b=2&j=NjcwODczMzAS1&mt=1&rt=0
There's a news article, video and a News & Views about a recent paper
on a synchronized quorum of genetic clocks, as well as a feature and
an editorial that look at synthetic biology's past achievements and
future challenges.
