Electronic control of gene expression and cell behaviour in Escherichia coli through redox signalling

Synthetic biology offers the ability to explore new ways of manipulating gene expression and function. Here the authors demonstrate an electrogenetic device that allows control of transcription by an exogenous electrical signal.
