They may also help researchers to design synthetic genetic circuits in cells.

它们还能帮助研究人员设计出细胞中的人工基因电路。

One potentially powerful application of such circuits is in modeling genetic network — the interplay of genes and proteins that controls a cell's function and fate.

这类电路的一个潜在的强大应用是：用于遗传网络建模——基因和蛋白质的交互作用控制着细胞的功能和命运。

I talk to electrical engineers who use genetic algorithms to design circuits, and the circuits end up being completely alien to humans.

我曾经和一个电学工程师聊天。这个工程师利用遗传运算设计电路，最后这个电路对人们来说却是完全陌生的。

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.

They combined conventional PET imaging, which requires a radioactive tracer to highlight the brain's metabolic activity, with other recent advances in the genetic engineering of brain cells that allows them to target specific brain circuits in lab animals.
