This work demonstrates fundamental advancements towards the construction of an RNAi-based molecular computing core genetically encoded in the genome of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). This architecture can be theoretically programmed to precisely control stem cell differentiation. First, we use computational biology to analyze differential miRNA expression during human stem cell differentiation and guide biological design. We then design, build, and test proof-of-concept RNAi-based circuits in living human cells and couple them to Cas9-mediated transcriptional control. Finally, we demonstrate stable integration of an RNAi-based sensor in chromosome 19 (AAVS1 locus) of hiPSCs using landing pad technology followed by successful differentiation into brain-like tissue. by Sebastian Ricardo Palacios.
