UW engineers borrow from electronics to build largest circuits in eukaryotic cells

UW engineers borrow from electronics to build largest circuits in eukaryotic cells 06/01/2017 04:06 PM EDT University of Washington (UW) synthetic biology researchers have demonstrated a new method for digital information processing in living cells, analogous to the logic gates used in electric circuits. The circuits are the largest ever published to date in eurkaryotic cells and a key step in harnessing the potential of cells as living computers that can respond to disease, efficiently produce biofuels or develop plant-based chemicals.
