Our Project


In nature, some cells have the ability to detect if certain environmental signals such as hormones, drugs, or wavelengths of light are present or absent. These digital signals can then determine the analog expression level of certain genes.

Our project aimed to replicate this natural process. Gemini would be able to recognize the presence (represented by a 1) or the absence (represented by a zero) of several environmental signals. Each combination of drugs and therefore each combination of 1's and 0's would cause the expression level of a reporter gene to change.
