These gates you normally find in computers.  And, or, not, these kind of decision making processes so they can make a system set up in ecoli so they can program e.coli to go about and recognize certain signals and perform certain kinds of task, depending on the range of signals they detect.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe iGEM Jamboree runs in Boston November 8th and 9th.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today<b> Alberta Ingenuity.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLearn more at InnovationAnthology.com<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertaingenuity.ca\">Alberta Ingenuity<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Established in 2000, the Alberta Ingenuity Fund supports science and engineering research of the highest calibre, to create a prosperous future for the province of Alberta.
