<h3>Project Description</h3>

<div id = "center">

<p>
 
-
<p>The limited availability of promoters, genes, and repressors, along with the difficulty in assembling and delivering large DNA plasmids bottleneck advances in sophistication of genetic circuits in mammalian systems. In contrast, sophistication of <i>in vitro</i> synthetic DNA circuits has grown exponentially through the mechanism of <a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:MIT/Motivation">toehold-mediated strand displacement</a>. These circuits demonstrate digital logic with reliable, modular, and scalable behaviors and maintain a small base-pair footprint. </p> <p>
 
-
The raw processing power of these strand displacement circuits has been trapped in the test tube, sequestered from the traditional protein-based sensing, processing, and actuation method of synthetic biology. With the adaptation of strand displacement-based information processing, the application space of synthetic biology circuits will become larger and more accessible. </p>

<p>
 
-
Our project leverages strand displacement to create a processing technology that supports multi-input <b>sensing</b>, sophisticated <b>information processing</b>, and precisely-regulated <b>actuation</b> in mammalian cells. We designed and tested a novel <a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:MIT/NOTGate">fully-functioning DNA NOT gate</a>, which enables complete logic operation. In addition, we used RNA strand displacement to <a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:MIT/Sensing">sense cellular mRNA</a>. We also demonstrated our ability to <a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:MIT/CircuitProduction#shortRNAbio">produce short RNAs</a> <i>in vivo</i>.

Most importantly, we demonstrated that toehold-mediated strand displacement in RNA can occur in mammalian cells. This, combined with our feasibility studies outlined in the above paragraph, shows that <a href="https://2012.igem.org/Team:MIT/TheKeyReaction#iteration_2_invivo"><b>strand displacement is a viable information-processing technology</b></a>. We envision <i>in vivo</i> RNA strand displacement as a new foundation for scaling up complexity in engineered biological systems, with applications in biosynthesis, biomedical diagnostics and therapeutics.
