  • Adam Meyer 15:55, 2 April 2012 (EDT):the repressilator in real life. "useless" is analogous to an auto-repressor. "useless2" is analogous to a repressilator. Actually, it is not exactly analogous, as each components turns itself off and the other on (instead of each turning the other off), but the oscillatory behavior is the same.
  • 12:57, 3 April 2012 (EDT): Are toggle switches used to detect pollution levels? It seems as though they can be used as detectors for the presence of specific molecules that would induce production of some indicator when a threshold level of the pollutant is surpassed.
