USTC/Inputs and Outputs
From 2007.igem.org
PoPS (the flow of RNA Polymerase molecules along DNA) means the current of gene expression. Our logic gates accept PoPS input signals, and output the results as PoPS to the downstream component.
The figure above shows the basic structure of our input device. It functions to convert chemical signals to the PoPS (the flow of RNA Polymerase molecules along DNA) signals of lac repressor and CI, which are actually the wires of our system.
