... do as genetic circuits become larger and more complex?
Voigt: If you look at all the products of biology... on genes at different times. It requires more complex synthetic networks.
Addgene: What hurdles did you... perspective and you can layer them for more complicated functions. Those things are easy with CRISPR..... There haven’t been enough genetic parts for complexity. We have characterized almost 600 terminators...of a cell. The objective is to give people the complete toolbox for taking on very large genetic engineering...just using what biology has given us. Wood is a complicated material and we can access it, but we are stuck...
