The MIT iGEM team set out to bring aspects from the fields of DNA computing and synthetic biology together. Over the past few months we have:
* established the viability of RNA as an alternative processing medium to DNA
* demonstrated RNA strand displacement in vivo
* designed, modeled and tested a DNA-based NOT gate
* designed, modeled and tested a modular mRNA sensor, along with an inverting sensor
* designed, modeled and tested various forms of regulating gene expression at the RNA level using
** miRNA-induced RNAi knockdown
** Decoy & TuD mediated double-repression systems
** self-cleaving Hammerhead ribozymes
* characterized various new MammoBlock parts for transcribing short pieces of RNA in mammalian cells,
