13. For example, converting a NOR gate repressed by transcription factors to an OR gate activated by transcription factors requires changing how proteins interact with RNA polymerase (from competitive binding and occlusion to recruitment and initiation) and simultaneous reworking of the basal activity for core promoter elements (from a constitutively active promoter that can be repressed to a weak promoter that does not spontaneously initiate transcription yet that transcription factors activate).

19. With transistor-based logic, gates use a base, emitter, and collector architecture that classically only allows for control of electrical current at one point on a wire by a single signal. Transcriptor-based logic allows RNA polymerase flow at a single point on DNA to be controlled, in theory, by as many independent recombinases as needed.
