Synthetic Biology Enables Programmable Cell‐Based Biosensors
Maggie Hicks, Till T. Bachmann, Baojun Wang
Abstract
Abstract The front cover artwork is provided by the group of Dr. Baojun Wang (The University of Edinburgh). The image shows an engineered bacterial cell containing a genetic amplifier circuit which transforms a weak input signal into a larger easily detectable output signal. The electronics symbols used to illustrate the genetic circuit highlight the programmability of the circuit components enabled by state‐of‐the‐art synthetic biology tools.
