Analog and digital memory in living cells

The ability to dynamically manipulate information stored in a genome, in a targeted, controlled and recurring manner, confers the great potential to study and engineer living cells. Here, we review some of the recent advances in the development of DNA writers, i.e., molecular devices that enable targeted editing of DNA of living cells, and discuss some of the potential uses of these devices in studying and programming cellular phenotypes.
