Tuning Ultrasensitivity in Genetic Logic Gates Using Antisense RNA Feedback

The study introduces antisense RNA (asRNA)-mediated sequestration as a novel mechanism to improve inverting genetic logic gates by co-expressing asRNAs with mRNAs to enhance repression through additional feedback, thereby steepening dose–response curves, reducing OFF-state leakage, and enabling tunable logic transitions for constructing robust combinational circuits; results: improved gate sharpness and reduced leakage.
