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. ---A. In 2000, a genetic toggle switch was created in E. coli. ---B. In 2005, a hysteretic switch was created in mammalian cells. ---C. 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. 4. Conclusions and Future Directions of the Field <Previous Section | Next Section>
