What's a YES gate?

A yes gate is one of the simplest molecular logic gate operations. The truth table for a YES gate is:

Input	Output
1	1
0	0

The YES gates in our project consisted of an inducer which triggered the expression from a dedicated promoter. Consequentially, a fluorescent protein and an RNA polymerase are produced. The general scheme of a YES gate is presented in figure 1.

YES gate composition

Additional notes

Each YES gate had it's own set of additional considerations, which are specified below.

YES gate #1

YES gate #2

YES gate #3
