--drewtack (talk) 14:35, 24 March 2014 (CDT)Just starting with the introduction. I'm not entirely sure that you're introduction is appropriate for the subject matter; you should probably focus on biological or synthetic biology oscillations immediately.
- --Dennis Mishler (talk) 11:57, 25 March 2014 (CDT) Related to Drew's comment, Ashley I would like to see an actual introduction. What are oscillators? What is oscillations? I think you can then go into the descriptions that you already included.
- --Dennis Mishler (talk) 12:04, 25 March 2014 (CDT) I've never heard of this before... Is this a typo?: "Entertainment is defined as the systematic process of synchronization of the biological network."
- --Dennis Mishler (talk) 12:04, 25 March 2014 (CDT) In Biochemical Oscillations, you introduce A LOT of big words/concepts. “negative feedback, time delay, sufficient ‘nonlinearity’ of the reaction kinetics and proper balancing of the timescales of opposing chemical reactions.” Are you going to refer to these in the future, or give examples, or somehow relate back to these terms later?
- --Dennis Mishler (talk) 12:09, 25 March 2014 (CDT) Grammar in the last sentence (maybe a typo) of the repressilator section needs to be fixed.
- --Alejandro Gutierrez (talk) 06:25, 28 March 2014 (CDT) For the future directions section, is it possible to add an example of how the oscillators may be used, in a complex circuit or otherwise? I know it is sometimes difficult to find literature on the more complex theoretical circuits, but if you could find one or two examples, it would help my understanding of the subject.
