Journal ArticleDOI

Automated design of synthetic ribosome binding sites to control protein expression

TL;DR: A predictive method for designing synthetic ribosome binding sites is developed, enabling a rational control over the protein expression level, and is demonstrated by rationally optimizing protein expression to connect a genetic sensor to a synthetic circuit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatiotemporal control of cell signalling using a light-switchable protein interaction

TL;DR: It is shown that light-gated translocation of the upstream activators of Rho-family GTPases, which control the actin cytoskeleton, can be used to precisely reshape and direct the cell morphology of mammalian cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic circuit design automation

TL;DR: Electronic design automation principles from EDA are applied to enable increased circuit complexity and to simplify the incorporation of synthetic gene regulation into genetic engineering projects, and it is demonstrated that engineering principles can be applied to identify and suppress errors that complicate the compositions of larger systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robust multicellular computing using genetically encoded NOR gates and chemical ‘wires’

TL;DR: This work helps elucidate the design rules by which simple logic can be harnessed to produce diverse and complex calculations by rewiring communication between cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Principles of genetic circuit design

TL;DR: In this article, a review describes new tools that aid the construction of genetic circuits and discusses the failure modes encountered when assembling circuits, quantify their impact on performance, and review mitigation efforts.
