I absolutely LOVE being a biologist and thinking about all the things we can do with DNA!
Here’s a video by Lulu Qian and Erik Winfree of the DNA and Natural Algorithms group at Caltech explaining how DNA gate architecture is suitable for practical synthesis of large-scale circuits involving possibly thousands of gates.
For more information see their open-access paper A simple DNA gate motif for synthesizing large-scale circuits.
Shout out to Discover Magazine for pointing out this video.
