Turing Patterning Using Gene Circuits with Gas-Induced Degradation of Quorum Sensing Molecules.

The Turing instability was proposed more than six decades ago as a mechanism leading to spatial patterning, but it has yet to be exploited in a synthetic biology setting. Here we characterize the Turing instability in a specific gene circuit that can be implemented in vitro or in populations of clon...
