Motivation

Since the Programmable Logic Device has played a significant role in the progress of digital technology, we were motivated to apply it in cells to build gene circuits, which means the logic inside cells can be changed up to the external stimulus we’ve given beforehand. We name it CPLD, which is short for Cell Programmable Logic Device.readmore

Design

With the help of site-specific recombination, we manage to change the logic from the physical layer. To a further step, we design a system whose logic changes between AND and OR.readmore

Scalability

We can transform AND gate into OR gate through a flip of the sequence between opposite loxP sites. Moreover, based on a similar idea, our system shows a strong scalability in further design.readmore
