Logic Artificial Biological Circuit (ABC) and logic Integrated Circuit (IC) are both composed by "components" and "wires". Though we have been enjoying the advantages of Ultra Large Scale IC (ULSI), we still cannot implement in real experiments a somewhat large-scaled logic ABC with several levels of logic gates in it.

Artificial Bio-Logic Circuit is composed of "logic gates" and "wires" like Digital Electronic Circuits. Though we have been enjoying the advantages of ultra-large-scale electronic circuits in modern life, we still cannot implement a somewhat small-scale circuit <i>in vivo</i> with several levels of gates.

Our project is to provide a new method for building up a fully extensible logic ABC. For some biological convenience, we are going to produce such biological logic gates as NAND, NOR, NOT which are exactly the basis for modern logic IC. More importantly, several factors  influence the scale of ABC and IC, such as, the size and power of the components, the interference between wires, and standardization of intercommunication. Cis-acting components in ABC may present a smaller scale and power request than trans-acting ones, while the other two factors can be improved by novelly-designed and calibrated wires. We are also going to demonstrate an ABC made by these biological logic gates and wires.

Such an ABC may not be large, but the important factors we implement in it will naturally make it fully extensible. IC has existed for 50 years, and now how huge its impact is on our modern lives! Then what about the biological logic circuits in the next 50 years? A new world is waiting...

Our project is to provide a new method for building up a fully extensible bio-logic circuit in bacteria. A small fragment of DNA containing cis-acting elements, favored for its small scale and potential to implement complex logic computation <i>in vivo</i>, can be systematically built up and act as a gate. Meanwhile, artificial repressors with highly-specific DNA-recognition regions are able to transmit signals without mutual interference, just as enameled wires. In this way, a circuit can be constructed regardless of the number of logic gates and the layout of the wires.

A demonstration system has also been assembled to show the practicality of this method. Just like Digital Electronic Circuits in early days, it is simple and ugly. Nevertheless, how will it appear in future?

Our Project:
Extensible Logic Circuit in Bacteria

Artificial Bio-Logic Circuit is composed of "logic gates" and "wires" like Digital Electronic Circuits. Though we have been enjoying the advantages of ultra-large-scale electronic circuits in modern life, we still cannot implement a somewhat small-scale circuit in vivo with several levels of gates.

Our project is to provide a new method for building up a fully extensible bio-logic circuit in bacteria. A small fragment of DNA containing cis-acting elements, favored for its small scale and potential to implement complex logic computation in vivo, can be systematically built up and act as a gate. Meanwhile, artificial repressors with highly-specific DNA-recognition regions are able to transmit signals without mutual interference, just as enameled wires. In this way, a circuit can be constructed regardless of the number of logic gates and the layout of the wires.

A demonstration system has also been assembled to show the practicality of this method. Just like Digital Electronic Circuits in early days, it is simple and ugly. Nevertheless, how will it appear in future?
