Electronic Actuation of Surface-Immobilized, pH-Responsive DNA Nanoswitches

This paper demonstrates pH-responsive DNA nanoswitches immobilized on surfaces, showing reversible and repeatable switching, and introduces electrically driven actuation for potential hybrid electronic-DNA technologies.

GelGenie: an AI-powered framework for gel electrophoresis image analysis

GelGenie is an AI framework that automatically identifies gel bands in electrophoresis images, outperforming existing software and matching manual analysis.

Modulating cell-free transcription electrolytically with switchable DNA triplexes

This paper introduces EDGE, an electrochemical method to modulate gene expression using DNA triplexes, showing that triplexes inhibit gene expression in cell-free systems.

Incompatibility of DFHBI based fluorescent RNA aptamers with particular commercial cell-free expression systems

The paper shows that certain DFHBI-based fluorescent RNA aptamers fail to produce fluorescence in the Expressway cell-free system despite successful transcription.

Towards a bioelectronic computer: A theoretical study of a multi-layer biomolecular computing system that can process electronic inputs

This paper presents a theoretical study of a multi-layer biomolecular computing system that converts electrical inputs into biomolecular signals and performs logical operations.
