Abstract

Provided herein are genetic circuits and cell state classifiers for detecting the microRNA profile of a cell. In some embodiments, the cell state classifiers described herein utilize an endoribonuclease and a self-amplifying RNA molecule for controlling the expression of an output molecule. In some embodiments, the cell state classifiers described herein are encoded on a single RNA transcript, which is then processed to produce individual genetic circuits that function independently. The genetic circuits and cell state classifiers described herein may be used in various applications (e.g., therapeutic or diagnostic applications).
