Prof Palli said that the bed bugs had developed a number of biological systems to avoid death by poison.
Green, who trained as a nuclear engineer at UC-Berkeley, started out doing fractal math to model ecological risk across huge biological systems such as the rainforest.
This approach combined with the complexity of biological systems restricts current, one-off efforts to modifying only a small set of genes and constructing simple, isolated genetic circuits and metabolic pathways.

FORBES: Could Hydrogen Breakthrough Revive The Fuel-Cell Car?
Codon was founded a year ago on the idea that scientists would need a company that could sell tools used in creating such custom-designed biological systems (see: " Photoshop For DNA").
"The physics of flight at such small scales is relatively poorly understood which makes designing small flying systems very difficult, " he told BBC News, adding that biological systems provided "critical insights into designing our own artificial flyers".

Miller also is reanalyzing the data to see if there are variations when sunlight was blocked by a weeks-long dust storm on Mars, with the idea being that biological systems would have acted differently to the environmental change than geologic ones.
MSN: Viking robots found life on Mars in 1976, scientists say
Would-be submitters must be able to fabricate MEMs that can be implanted into bugs at the pupa stage for integration into biological systems during development, and must prove that they can guide their creations to within three meters of a target from a minimum distance of 100 meters.
Hans Blix , the hapless Swedish diplomat chosen by Saddam's friends on the Security Council to run the search for chemical and biological weapons and their delivery systems is demonstrating why he was tapped for the job.
Engineers who put these HVAC systems together could start using biological evidence to redesign them so they limit the growth of harmful microorganisms.
Protect and restore the integrity of Earth's ecological systems, with special concern for biological diversity and the natural processes that sustain life.
Before now, he said, many of the attempts to recreate biological brains in silicon have focused on the cognitive systems found in humans, monkeys and mice.
It does however remark that, to be fully effective, science curricula need to interact properly with local experiences and systems of traditional knowledge, particularly in the biological and environmental sciences.
Autonomic systems would bear more of a resemblance to simple biological organisms than a fully fledged, HAL-style artificial intelligence.
These tools, he says, will enable treatment systems that combine the constant monitoring of a patient's biological information and the infusing of targeted medicines.
The rooms are designed like upgraded 1950s bomb shelters, with air filters to screen out biological agents, dedicated phone lines, bathrooms and closed-circuit TV systems.
