Stanford creates biological transistors, the final step towards computers inside living cells

Bioengineers at Stanford University have created the first biological transistor made from genetic materials: DNA and RNA. We are now tantalizingly close to biological computers that can detect changes in a cell's environment, store a record of that change in memory made of DNA, and then trigger some kind of response -- say, commanding a cell to stop producing insulin, or to self-destruct if cancer is detected.
