Timing by a cyclic circuit

The time lag would be due to the time for gene expression for each pdt eg A, B etc.

To moderate time: 1)	Change the number of nodes 2)	Change the strength of expression (ie. Take longer to reach threshold levels)

Use modelling to better determine how to change circuit Start with a simple A to B circuit. Add new components as increased time is required
