Half-adder or Full-adder

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

Idea: Pattern recognition

→ Illustration of the concepts:

Write something with a chemical on a petri plate (like ETH for example)
Let Bacteria grow uniformly on the plate
Expose the plate to a picture (black and white) of the same pattern
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

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

unzip the file, each zip file contains 2 files: sim_xxx.m and ode_xxx.m.

ode_xxx.m : contains the differential equations, i.e. the model

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

As a result of the meeting on August 17, we will from now on concentrate on the AND versions 2 and 3.

We have already reserved parts for the adder and the gates in the registry the description of which are still tentative:

Suggestions for Chemical Sensing Device:

Lactate lacI represses, IPTG induces ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_R0011 BBa_R0011] or [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_R0010 BBa_R0010] )
Tetracycline, TetR inhibitor, Tet inducer by inhibiting TetR (or aTc, it's analog) ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_R0040 BBa_R0040])
combination thereof ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I13614 BBa_I13614] / [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I13617 BBa_13617] / [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I13623 BBa_I13623] / [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I13624 BBa_I13624] / [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I13627 BBa_I13627] / [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I13637 BBa_I13637] / [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I13653 BBa_I13653])
simple sugar Arabinose ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_R0080 BBa_R0080])
I see the main difficulty in the spatial separation as the cells are growing in the petri dishes. since the inducers are water-soluble we would have to fix the chemicals onto the petro dish.
