Our high-level goal is to develop a design-oriented framework for recombinase-based, genetically-encoded circuits that can be used for detection, diagnostics, and logging of environmental signals and events. The specific objectives this project are to: * Develop circuit components, mathematical models, experimental protocols, and system characterization methods that enable recombinase-based circuits to be designed and utilized in a systematic fashion. * Implement a set of biological “event detectors” in both cell-free and cell-based assays, and demonstrate their utility in applications that combine digital, analog, and stochastic operations. === References === {{project paper list}} [[Category:Active projects]] [[Category:Biocircuits projects]]
