Many important genetic circuits are either incompletely understood or tightly integrated into larger genetic systems that control complex processes.

Integrated gene circuits. 111 natural gene circuits we know our genes are regulated to be activated in some cells and repressed in others chapter 10. Rewiring endogenous gene circuits. To date gene circuit based sensors have primarily used optical proteins for example fluorescent colorimetric as reporter outputs which has limited the potential to measure multiple distinct.

The ics mass production capability reliability and building block approach to circuit design has ensured the rapid a. Analogous to integrated circuits that underlie myriad electronic products engineered gene circuits can be used to generate defined dynamics rewire endogenous networks sense environmental. Elowitz2 a major goal of synthetic biology is to develop a deeper understanding of biological design principles from the bottom up by building circuits and studying their behavior in cells.

Ultimate goals of this program. How does a cell know when to alter a particular genes transcription. Integrated circuit design probing and reshaping the genome to control cell fate one challenge in synthetic biology is to integrate synthetic circuitry into larger transcriptional networks to mediate predictable cellular behaviors.

Manipulation synthetic circuits could be integrated into a ppropriately rewired endogenous circuitry to act as sensors and to implement additional function ality. Our approach to component integration on a nanochip may provide a basis for large scale integrated genetic circuits. An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece of semiconductor material that is normally silicon.

A in drosophila the synthetic medea element top maternally expresses an mirna red that silences a maternally expressed gene whose product is essential for embryogenesis left column. An integrated synthetic circuit controls development and population dynamics. The integration of large numbers of tiny mos transistors into a small chip results in circuits that are orders of magnitude smaller faster and less expensive than those constructed of discrete electronic components.

We further integrated reprogrammable logic gates so that the nanochip responds to water in oil droplets and computes their small rna mirna profiles which demonstrates that the nanochip can function as a gene logic chip.
