ABSTRACT
Communication is ubiquitous in life as we know it. We are using cellular and molecular messaging of different magnitudes to improve the broadcast and reception of information. On the atomic level, our BioWires project has created silver-incorporating DNA strands to use as nanowires, which could improve the cost and effectiveness of electronic products. Our CRISPR project worked on a system for passing DNA regulatory messages between cells, in effect creating transmissible vaccines. We are also building a sucrose biosensor for B. subtilis that will be launched on the (EuCROPIS) satellite into low-Earth orbit. Finally, our De-Extinction project involves extrapolating sequences from the past to better understand early life on Earth. |
