This project aims to build a tRNA suppressor logic gate toolkit with AND, NAND, OR, and NOR functions for use in a bacterial quasi-hash function. The toolkit includes both basic and specific design gates, utilizing cell-to-cell signaling and time-delayed growth mechanisms. Using various suppressor logics, distinct quasi-hash functions will be constructed, enhancing the versatility of genetic circuit design. Key goals include developing new gate designs and integrating different genetic components to achieve desired outputs.

Construction of a Suppressor Logic Toolkit and its use in a Bacterial Quasi-Hash Function iGEM 2008 Finisher Team Bob Cool, Kin Lau, Xiao Zhu
Goals for 2009 Summer Project • Build tRNA suppressor logic gate tool kit with AND, NAND, OR, and NOR logic gate functions • AND gate is same basic design as in Anderson 2007, but with different parts, including 5-base frameshift suppressor instead of termination suppressor • NAND, OR, and NOR gates are new designs • Use the logic gates to construct two distinct quasi-hash functions using cell-to-cell signaling and time-delayed growth
