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. Through a dCas9 based system, 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 and change the expression level of gene based on what combination of signals it registered.
