It was a great session!! Thanks for organising it @vdlorenzo.bsky.social @angelgm.bsky.social

Thanks, Alex. There's definitely those challenges with CRISPRi circuits. In our hands a big issue with scaling up seemed to be multiple message delivery. As the number of input signals increased, so did the circuit activation time. Lots more to do, including libraries!

Phages in biological computing have great potential, as was highlighted by @drewendy.bsky.social in doi.org/10.1186/1754.... A recent preprint from the @yschaerli.bsky.social lab also uses inducible phage messages for intercellular communication and CRISPRi. doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Growth phase and resource competition impacted communication efficiency between senders and receivers. Expanded orthogonality by using DNA messages for i-CRISPRi enabled us to build several multicellular logic gates (single- and dual-rail encoding): NOT, YES, AND, AND-AND-NOT.
