Abstract | |||
The goal of this project is to design a basic device for computing. Our idea was to reproduce a circuit element called a half adder with DNA, which takes in two 1-bit inputs, adds them, and outputs a sum and a carry. Our device responds to two inputs: red light and the chemical tetracycline. The input sensors control a set of genetic switches in order to carry out the computation and fluoresces green and/or red depending on the outcome.
- goals - biological implementation of a fundamental engineering concept, the half-adder - half adder calculates the sum of two 1-bit inputs project - bacterial sensor which responds to two inputs: red light and the chemical tetracycline - input sensors control genetic switches in order to carry out logic functions - output of the half-adder function...green or red fluorescence - applications - why is it important? | |||
