nAture methods | ADVANCE ONLINE PUBLICATION | Genetic memory enables the recording of information in the dnA of living cells. memory can record a transient environmental signal or cell state that is then recalled at a later time. Permanent memory is implemented using irreversible recombinases that invert the orientation of a unit of dnA, corresponding to the [0, ] state of a bit. to expand the memory capacity, we have applied bioinformatics to identify 34 phage integrases (and their cognate attB and attP recognition sites), from which we build memory switches that are perfectly orthogonal to each other and the Fime and hbiF bacterial invertases. using these switches, a memory array is constructed in Escherichia coli that can record .375 bytes of information. it is demonstrated that the recombinases can be layered and used to permanently record the transient state of a transcriptional logic gate.
