Revision as of 02:07, 22 October 2005

Short Overview. The project of the ETH Zurich team consists of the design and implementation in vivo of a gene circuit that can count up to 4. In essence, the counter uses two toggle switches, each storing 1 bit, to keep track of the 4 states. The design of the counter is highly modular, with the hope that it can be included as a unit in larger circuits, and also combined with further counter instances to keep track of a much larger number of states, up to (2^(n+1)) with n units. To facilitate further developments and integration to other projects, the counter is available in form of BioBricks. Among many exciting applications, the availability of a counter enables the execution of sequential instructions, and paves the way for the execution of artifical programs inside living cells.
