| + | '''Multi-sensing genetic devices''' offer great future perspectives for biotechnology, environmental monitoring and medical diagnostics. In light of this we have created an innovative '''DNA-methylation''' based '''reporter system''' in E. coli, named '''Cellular Logbook''', that has the potential of simultaneously reporting on significantly more signals than current fluorescence-based systems (eg. GFP). The Cellular Logbook can be used to '''detect and store''' the presence of '''any compound''' linked to a transcriptional regulator. This system allows for '''offline monitoring''' by functioning as a '''memory module'''. Assessment of the memory status is performed by digesting with restriction endonucleases followed by gel electrophoresis. Furthermore, the Cellular Logbook is able to infer the '''time of signal-onset''' or '''signal-intensity''' using the natural dilution of the registered signal’s due to cell division. In short our exciting new memory module could potentially be utilized as a platform for many groundbreaking technologies. | ||
