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.
