Systematic design methodology for robust genetic transistors based on I/O specifications via promoter-RBS libraries

摘要

BackgroundSynthetic genetic transistors are vital for signal amplification and switching in genetic circuits. However, it is still problematic to efficiently select the adequate promoters, Ribosome Binding Sides (RBSs) and inducer concentrations to construct a genetic transistor with the desired linear amplification or switching in the Input/Output (I/O) characteristics for practical applications.
