Two riboswitches were seamlessly linked into a single hybrid construct that functions as a Boolean NAND gate, shutting off gene expression only when both chemical inputs are present simultaneously. A ...

What is NAND flash memory? NAND flash is a type of nonvolatile memory that is accessed like a mass storage device (e.g., a hard drive). A form of electronically erasable programmable readonly memory ...

An interdisciplinary research team from two working groups at the Centre for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt has developed the first RNA-based genetic switch that precisely replicates the logical ...

NAND Flash ECC trends have been on the rise since NAND was first introduced. Although it’s not a new issue, the ECC required to support newer multilevel (MLC) and three-bit-per-cell technologies is ...

A long-standing challenge to evolutionary theory has been whether it can explain the origin of complex organismal features. We examined this issue using digital organisms—computer programs that ...

How can cells be programmed to respond to complex signals and make targeted decisions, similar to a logical circuit in a computer? An interdisciplinary team from two research groups at the Centre for ...
