Bacteria do compute and can be reprogrammed for new capacities—but not exactly by following Turing’s rules. Evolution, context dependence, and the soft-matter nature of living hardware redefine what computation means in biology. From @angelgm.bsky.social Lab 👉🏻 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New paper out!📢 Exploring the computing power of microbes that shapes the environment. In this short review we talk about the "complexity gap", the distance between bottom-up genetic circuits and microbial information processes. Key questions to improve #biocomputation. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.mi...
