Synthetic Cellular Memory

Brief Introduction paragraph

Explanation of how things will be explained.

  1. How to biologically construct memory?
  2. Mathematical Models of these constructs
  3. Examples of 3 different types of memory in 3 different types of organisms.

--In 2000, a genetic toggle switch was created in E. coli. --In 2005, a hysteretic switch was created in mammalian cells. --In 2007, a permanant cellular memory unit (meaning that it remembered being in a given state even when it no longer existed in that state) was created in yeast.

  1. Conclusions and Future Directions of the Field
