Scientists 'Talk' to Yeast

Scientists 'Talk' to Yeast : Discovery News: "Scientists have learned to "talk" to yeast in a Zurich laboratory. In the conversation, the researchers created a communication loop between regular brewers yeast and a computer, giving control to the computer over protein production in the yeast cell. This "feedback control" between the computer and the yeast is the first of its kind and opens the door to use a computer to manage genetically altered microorganisms."
