- Foundational paper which defines the notion of "cellular supremacy" (by comparison with "quantum supremacy") to capture the domains in which bio-based computational devices may out-perform their silicon counterparts. Suggests a number of areas for development in bio-computing, and outlines specific success criteria, to focus attention on high-impact areas in which synthetic biology may achieve transformational results.
"...an excellent recent perspective persuasively argues that synthetic biologists need to escape from the Boolean logic paradigm which has been so successful for electronic computation due to inherent differences between electronic circuits and biological systems." (Karkaria, et al., Front. Bioeng. Biotechnol., 2020).
