SCIENCE - Bioengineers invent 'light tube array,' 'bioscilloscope' to test, debug genetic circuits

(Phys.org) —In a significant advance for the growing field of synthetic biology, Rice University bioengineers have created a toolkit of genes and hardware that uses colored lights and engineered bacteria to bring both mathematical predictability and cut-and-paste simplicity to the world of genetic circuit design ...
