In this review we discuss how synthetic biology facilitates the task of
investigating genetic circuits that are observed in naturally occurring
biological systems. Specifically, we give examples where experimentation with
synthetic gene circuits has been used to understand four fundamental mechanisms
intrinsic to development and disease: multistability, stochastic gene expression,
oscillations, and cell-cell communication. Within each area, we also discuss how
mathematical modeling has been employed as an essential tool to guide the design
of novel gene circuits and as a theoretical basis for exploring circuit
topologies exhibiting robust behaviors in the presence of noise.
