Genetic circuit computing

Logic executed inside living cells using orthogonal trans-splicing AND gates, hybrid promoters and synthetic microRNAs, demonstrated as three-input gates, half and full adders and a dynamic multiplexer.

Where it's used

Biocomputing and DNA computing
Computation and storage carried out in molecules and living tissue rather than silicon — DNA archives with in-sequencer random access, error-correction codecs tolerating error rates near 14% and sequence loss up to 65%, genetic circuits implementing half and full adders, and biohybrid systems that compute with slime mould and fungal networks.
