CHEMICAL SIGNALS. “Unlike electronic digital circuits, the components in a biological circuit are not connected by wires, and the flow of biological information has to depend on their specific chemical interactions to avoid cross-talk.” https://lnkd.in/dsEUY4ZP View in LinkedIn

REDUCED NOISE. “The circuit chassis compatibility assays reported here (Fig. 6) indicate that the use of orthogonal and exogenous gene elements for a synthetic circuit in a chassis help to minimize the potential unintended interactions between the circuit and host genetic programmes.” https://lnkd.in/dsEUY4ZP View in LinkedIn

SCALABLE. “Orthogonal parts and modules, such as the AND gate engineered in this study, are important for the compatibility and scalable design of large gene circuits comprising many components. Orthogonality implies that the newly added parts and modules should not cross-talk with those present in the engineered biological systems as well as the host genetic background.” https://lnkd.in/dsEUY4ZP View in LinkedIn

STRATEGY. “The obtained transfer functions of the logic gates implemented here can be used to simulate the behaviour of larger integrated devices or systems when the context in which they are placed is preserved. Alternatively, biological components might be insulated physically and genetically to let them act more stably and predictably in different contexts.” https://lnkd.in/dsEUY4ZP View in LinkedIn

ARTIFACT VS REALITY. “A thing is hot or cold, sweet or bitter, or hard or soft only by convention; the only things that exist in reality are atoms and the Void.” (Democritus, (c. 460 BCE—c. 370, proposed the first atomic theory of the universe). https://lnkd.in/dHMYWu6h View in LinkedIn

ORDINARY AND MIRROR PARTICLES. “Like O matter, during cosmological evolution the M matter should form nuclei, atoms, stars and planets which, being invisible for us in terms of O photons, can represent dark matter (DM) in the Universe.” https://lnkd.in/dWfwWeTG View in LinkedIn

ORDINARY AND MIRROR PARTICLES. “In this way, all O particles: electron e, proton p, neutron n, neutrinos ν, photon γ etc. must have the mass-degenerate M twins e′, p′, n′, ν′, γ′ etc. which are sterile to the interactions of our Standard Model (SM) but have their own SM′ interactions of exactly the same pattern.” https://lnkd.in/dWfwWeTG View in LinkedIn

THE MIRROR UNIVERSE. “There may exist a hidden sector of particles which are the mirror (M) replicas of the ordinary (O) particles. Mirror parity, a discrete symmetry under the specular exchange of the O and M species (fermions, gauge bosons and Higgs fields of two sectors), implies that the two worlds should have identical microphysics.” https://lnkd.in/dWfwWeTG View in LinkedIn
