Note: This project was finally left undeveloped and hopefully it will be completed next year.


The Scheme

We want to create Turing patterns by means of a genetic devise. Such patterns have benn succesfully generated by means of an oscillatory chemeical reaction such as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belousov-Zhabotinsky_reaction Belousov-Zhabotinsky_reaction].

We plan to use [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I5611 BBa_I5611], a devise similar to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repressilator Repressilator], that produces an oscillatory behavior in bacteria. To couple the oscillators we plan to use [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php/Chassis/Cell-Free_Systems cell free systems], this chasis will enable the repressors to freely difuse through the media.
