 DNA nanostructures   Global warming   Computer Analogies   Alternative splicing   Ftsk translocase   Fuel production   Biobricks in eukaryotes   Message Relay System  -- [[Media:ZS_brainstorm.pdf | Notes from first meeting]] (pdf)
 * opening/closing dynamically using DNA sticky ends or DNA binding protein, investigating protein design
 * make a tight box
 * making a latch to be opened by a certain receptor
 * cyanobacteria - circadian oscillator -> synthetic oscillator
 * neurospora - light sensitive repressor
 * Memory
 * plasmid memory, memory management, garbage collection/mark and sweep
 * addressable
 * Counter
 * telomeres, buffer with red flourescent protein or a self-destruction sequence
 * Cryptography
 * fold DNA nanostructure - key is native strand of DNA in one cell, message of oligomers sent to that cell
 * Debugger
 * something before the reporter
 * making a bunch of parameters and seeing what we can get
 * perhaps working a debugger into our specific system
 * Hijacking commensal bacteria
 * Yogurt - lactobacillusacidophillus
 * simple manipulations of DNA, spitting DNA into media
 * Ethanol in yeast or E.coli
 * protein domain system (MCB 100 work)
 * Passing molecules
 * Assembling messages
