We will also need a device providing two times the same output signal, according to the input. This is needed to supply the AND and the XOR gate with the input signals, sensed by the system.

*Decide if we need this part: On August 16, Jörg said it is possible to link the DNA sequences of the gates, responsible for the inputs, directly to the output of the sensing devices
+
-
*If we decide to use the PoPS doubler device we need to decide which implementation we favor (Idea 1 is, from my point of view, better because the outputs are synchronized --[[User:Dimo|Dimo]] 05:49, 17 August 2006 (EDT))

unzip the file, each zip file contains 2 files: <code>sim_xxx.m</code> and <code>ode_xxx.m</code>.

-
: <code>ode_xxx.m</code> : contains the differential equations, i.e. the model

-
: <code>sim_xxx.m</code> : sets the parameters, calls the simulator and plots the result (this is the one to run, but the other is also needed).

Half-adder or Full-adder

An implementation of a half-adder or full-adder: 1-bit adder with carry

  • [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_adder half/full adder in wikipedia]

Idea: Pattern recognition

→ Illustration of the concepts:

Main Goal:

  1. Write something with a chemical on a petri plate (like ETH for example)
  2. Let Bacteria grow uniformly on the plate
  3. Expose the plate to a picture (black and white) of the same pattern
  4. Result:
    • Bacteria gets green when pattern on the plate and picture match (light and chemical)
    • Bacteria does not express fluorescent protein when pattern on the plate and picture match (no light and no chemical)
    • Bacteria gets red when pattern on the plate and picture do not match

Implementation from the ingenieur point of view

  • Half Adder
  • = opportunity to build an AND and an XOR Gate

Implementation from the biologist point of view

  • AND Gate: presence of chemical induces the production of an inactive protein, which is activated by a second protein (produced when light is present): the first protein is then activating GFP production
  • XOR Gate: I think Marko had a good idea about that (I didn't really got it)
  • a light sensible promoter (there are some, see [http://partsregistry.org/Featured_Parts:Light_Sensor here])
  • a chemical sensible promoter (chemical to be defined)
  • we would need to give a kind of first signal to the system (to don't have light reactions before a certain moment, otherwise we have to work in a dark room...), an activation signal after the bacterias have grown on the plate

Pro's & Con's

Pro's:

  • meaningful from engineering point
  • valuable parts for synthetic biology
  • stepwise proceeding applicable (→ intermediate and partial results!)
  • experiments visually attractive
  • probably simple enough

Con's:

  • cheap copy of “bio-film” project ([http://partsregistry.org/cgi/htdocs/SBC04/index.cgi iGEM 2004])
  • sensational experiments, have little in common with half adder
  • maybe that a big vision is lacking
  • general/practical benefit? (counter-argument: is this required?)
  • too simple?
