Multistable and dynamic CRISPRi-based synthetic circuits

Synthetic circuits based on CRISPRi have not achieved multistable and dynamic behaviors. Here the authors build an oscillator, a toggle switch and an incoherent feed-forward loop using CRISPRi, and provide a mathematical model suggesting that unspecific binding in CRISPRi enables multistability.
