Cello – a Verilog compiler for transcriptional logic in bacterial cells

User berntb posted this as a reply to your comment, but their account seems to have been shadowbanned.

--------------

They implement logical gates by turning on/off transcription, so the result of one gene turned on will be that another is turned off (NOT). And so on.

I assume the idea is less to build an adder and an ALU ( :-) ) and more to build behaviour on environmental input. There is a video under the "demo" tab.

Edit: Under the "Publications" you find an abstract and a good explanation. Read that instead of my copy/pasting. :-) Their basic point is "This approach leads to highly repetitive and modular genetics, in stark contrast to the encoding of natural regulatory networks"

dang, if you happen see this, why is user berntb shadow-banned? I see some political opinions that I happen to disagree with in his history, but nothing in the past ~20 pages of his comments worthy of shadow-banning. In fact, I see some high-value comments of a technical nature, such as this post.

Assuming my interpretation of this situation is reasonable, could you please consider his account for un-shadow-banning?
