DNA domino circuits based on a hairpin exonuclease assistance signal transmission architecture for temporal logic operations

Abstract

DNA circuits are important fundamental tools for performing temporal logic operations with complex structures, but they lack sequence orthogonality. Here, we developed a simple and orthogonal hairpin exonuclease assistance signal (H-EAST) architecture to construct DNA domino circuits with time-delay characteristics and temporal logic operations, which has potential applications in biomolecular computing.
