title: Towards a circuit engineering discipline.
abstract: Genetic circuits can now be engineered that perform moderately complicated switching functions or exhibit predictable dynamical behavior. These 'forward engineering' techniques may have to be combined with directed evolution techniques to produce robustness comparable with naturally occurring circuits.
