The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Programmed population control by cell–cell communication and regulated killing (2004, background): “The analytical solution of the non-trivial steady state for the full model (equation (1)– equation (3)) can also be solved, in particular, Ns 1⁄4 Nm dA dE k Nm vA kE dþdA dE k.”
Feedback Systems: An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers (2008, neutral): “Each diagram is used to illustrate the dynamics of a feedback system: (a) electrical schematics for a power system, (b) a biological circuit diagram for a synthetic clock circuit [22], (c) process diagram for a distillation column and (d) Petri net description of a communication protocol [?].”
Robustness Can Evolve Gradually in Complex Regulatory Gene Networks with Varying Topology (2007, background): “Quantitative models of cellular circuits help us to understand processes as different as circadian rhythms [17–25], the cell cycle [26], organismal development [7,9,10,16,27–31], bacterial chemotaxis [8], and the behavior of synthetic circuitry [32–36].”
Nonequilibrium physics in biology (2019, background): “coli (Atkinson et al., 2003).”
Growth-rate dependent global effects on gene expression in bacteria (2009, background): “The autoactivating circuit is known to exhibit bistability provided that autoactivation is cooperative with a Hill coefficient n > 1 (Atkinson et al., 2003; Isaacs et al., 2003).”
