Project

We aimed to create a n-bit bacterial full adder which could be operated by the user, and able to transmit a carry if needed. Considering that some of the previous iGEM projects tackled the bacterial adder concept, and using new systems of logic recombinatorial gates, we aimed to create a robust and strong device in a bacterial chassis. We also wanted to demonstrate that recombination-based gates represent a quite simple yet efficient way to build genetic logic gates that could be used further to design pure genetic devices.
