Biological circuits with memory created
Cambridge, Mass. (UPI) Feb 11, 2013
U.S. researchers say they've created synthetic biological circuits from bacterial cells that not only perform logic functions but also remember the results. Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say the results of the functions are encoded in the cell's DNA and passed on for dozens of generations. Synthetic biologists said they use interchangeable genetic parts to design circuits that perform a specific function, and such circuits could be used as long-term environmenta ... read more
