The paper develops a machine learning-guided workflow to optimize cell-free biosensors for detecting lead in drinking water, achieving sensitivity at the EPA action level and improved selectivity.

The paper develops a biosensor using transcription factors and microcantilevers to detect water contaminants with high sensitivity and speed.

A cell-free platform pairing T7 RNA polymerase, allosteric transcription factors and DNA templates yields fluorescent RNA output to detect antibiotics, small molecules and metals in water.
