Synthetic Origins

Codon

But in those early years, everything in the laboratory was so slow and difficult. I was reading a lot of molecular biology papers about different systems, especially circadian clocks, and also a book called Biological Feedback , by Thomas and D’Ari, that sketched out really simple models for different kinds of feedback circuits.
