+
<p>
+
We encourage you to put up a lot of information and content on your wiki, but we also encourage you to include summaries as much as possible. If you think of the sections in your project description as the sections in a publication, you should try to be concise, accurate, and unambiguous in your achievements.

One of the challenges in synthetic biology is characterizing the random nature of most synthetic biological systems. Where engineered physical systems can be predicted accurately, similar attempts to predict biologically engineered systems as accurately as physical systems have been a challenge. However, not enough research has been done to study how to harness the natural randomness of biological systems. For instance, the waste treatment industry spends a significant amount of energy in maintaining biosystems for waste treatment. Therefore, creating a stable biosystem is desirable for industrial purposes. The reaction-diffusion system, first proposed by Alan Turing, offers an attractive solution. Using the random diffusion of activators and inhibitors-it is worth exploring how to harness the randomness of this system to create a stable biosystem.
