Programmable intracellular DNA biocomputing circuits for reliable cell recognitions.

ABSTRACT: Dynamic nucleic acid-based biocircuits have spurred substantial research efforts for diagnosis or biomedical applications at the molecular level; nevertheless, it still remains a challenge to design programmable molecular circuit devices for autonomous and accurate diagnosis of low abundance biomolecules in a complex intracellular environment. Herein, a reconfigurable hybridization-based chain reaction is introduced to assemble modular biocomputing circuits that include a general sensing module and a versatile processing module. By modular sensing module design, we realized multiple endogenous miRNA-initiated biocomputing operations, including binary logic gates (OR, AND, INHIBIT and XOR), and more advanced concatenated logic circuits (XOR-AND, XOR-INHIBIT, and XOR-OR) in different living
