Tunable Coupling For Genetic Circuits - FM Radio For Bacteria

Monday, April 21, 2014 - 11:20 in Biology & Nature

The ability to program living holds tremendous potential for energy, agriculture, water remediation and medicine, and synthetic biology is on the case.Researchers have already designed a 'tool box' of small genetic components that act as intracellular switches, logic gates, counters and oscillators but wiring those components together to form larger circuits that can function as 'genetic programs' has been difficult, because of the small number of available wires. read more
