The regulatory landscape for biological control agents

Indirect nontarget eVects of host-speciWc biological control agents: Implications for biological control

Classical biological control of weeds currently operates under the assumption that biological control agents are safe (i.e., low risk) if they do not directly attack nontarget species. However, recent studies indicate that even highly host-speciWc biological control agents can impact nontarget species through indirect eVects. This Wnding has profound implications for biological control. To bett...

Combinatorial Algorithms for Control of Biological Regulatory Networks

Biological processes, including cell differentiation, organism development, and disease progression, can be interpreted as attractors (fixed points or limit cycles) of an underlying networked dynamical system. In this paper, we study the problem of computing a minimum-size subset of control nodes that can be used to steer a given biological network towards a desired attractor, when the networke...

dna electrochemical nanobiosensors for the detection of biological agents

in this study, we explained a nanobiosensor for dna sequence detection, featuring sequence specificity, cost efficiency, speed, and ease of use. without the need for labels or indicators, it may be ideal for the detection of biological agents. this review describes recent advances in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) with an emphasis on using nanoparticles and nanotechnology. a power...
