Our new paper from co-authors @GinaPartipilo and Sarah Coleman (@LabAlper) outlines the use of a linear mixed effects model for evaluating multi-input gene circuits! And @IsmarButSerious made a web-based platform to run your own new genetic circuits! boolstats.fly.dev/

we got the cover! elated to finally see this in print – huge congrats to @GinaPartipilo, artist extraordinaire @mister1smar, and all the co-authors @KeitzLab @RosalesGroup that made this work possible (1/3)
Our October issue is live! nature.com/nchembio/volumes/… The cover depicts an engineered living material with controllable mechanical properties: Bacteria (orange) embedded in a hydrogel are programmed to control the expression of MtrC which regulates microbial respiration

In this work, we investigate EET as a modulator of engineered living materials and use bacterial logic to actuate changes the abiotic environment.

We're so excited to share our new publication where we've created a hybrid transistor that harnesses extracellular electron transfer (EET) from living bacteria to control electrical outputs. This interdisciplinary work was lead by @YangGaoPhD ! #WhatStartsHere
.@KeitzLab @UTAustin present hybrid #transistors with electroactive #bacteria capable of #extracellular #electron transfer, enabling transduction of biological computations to electrical readouts #GettingApplied nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
