The laboratory of Dr. Pamela Silver at Harvard developed synthetic transcription factors for the construction of a novel “memory device” in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. While the details of this device are not essential to understanding our own gene network, it is important to discuss the significance of these transcription factors to our design. A transcription factor is composed of a binding domain, which targets the protein either an activation domain or a repression domain, which
