The MIT iGEM team set out to bring aspects from the fields of DNA computing and synthetic biology together. We tacked a project to build upon an existing in vivo method of nucleic acid computation, designing new components and extending strand displacement to in vivo applications.
Over the past few months we have:
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 and in vitro
- successfully delivered DNA and RNA into mammalian cells
- designed, modeled, and tested a DNA-based NOT gate, compatible with strand displacement circuits
- designed, modeled, and tested a modular mRNA sensor along with an inverting sensor, both compatible with strand displacement circuits
- designed, modeled, and tested various forms of regulating gene expression at the RNA level, compatible with strand displacement circuits, 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
