Synthetic Cellular Memory
Brief Introduction paragraph
Explanation of how things will be explained.
- How to biologically construct memory?
- Mathematical Models of these constructs
- 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.
