DNA Computing: A Review

open access: yesFundamenta Informaticae, 1998
DNA computing holds out the promise of important and significant connections between computers and living systems, as well as promising massively parallel computations. Before these promises are fulfilled, however, important challenges related to errors and practicality have to be addressed.

DNA computing

Proceedings of the International Conference & Workshop on Emerging Trends in Technology, 2011
As times proceed people are depending more and more on computer technology. More enhancements are made on existing technologies to satisfy the improving needs of user. DNA computing is similar to parallel computing. It is a form of computing which uses DNA and molecular biology, instead of traditional silicon based computer technologies.

DNA computing

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1997
DNA computation is a novel and exciting recent development at the interface of computer science and molecular biology. We describe the current activity in this field following the seminal work of Adleman, who recently showed how techniques of molecular biology may be applied to the solution of a computationally intractable problem.

DNA computing

Computing in Science & Engineering, 2002
Computer scientists are joining forces with molecular biologists and chemists to explore the potential for computation using information-carrying biological polymers such as nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). DNA computing is a subset of molecular computing. The key feature of DNA for computing is its information content.

DNA computing on surfaces

Nature, 2000
DNA computing was proposed as a means of solving a class of intractable computational problems in which the computing time can grow exponentially with problem size (the 'NP-complete' or non-deterministic polynomial time complete problems). The principle of the technique has been demonstrated experimentally for a simple example of the hamiltonian path ...

The complexities of DNA computation

Trends in Biotechnology, 1999
Over the past few years, a handful of insightful researchers have bridged the gap between biological computing theory and actual DNA-based computation. By using ingenious encoding techniques and clever molecular-biological manipulations, simple versions of computationally complex problems have been experimentally approached or resolved.

Computing with DNA

Journal of Computational Biology, 1995
We consider molecular models for computing and derive a DNA-based mechanism for solving intractable problems through massive parallelism. In principle, such methods might reduce the effort needed to solve otherwise difficult tasks, such as factoring large numbers, a computationally intensive task whose intractability forms the basis for much of modern ...

Models of DNA computation

1996
The idea that living cells and molecular complexes can be viewed as potential machinic components dates back to the late 1950s, when Richard Feynman delivered his famous paper describing sub-microscopic computers. Recently, several papers have advocated the realisation of massively parallel computation using the techniques and chemistry of molecular ...

(DNA) computing by carving

Soft Computing, 1999
Inspired by the experiments reported recently in the emerging area of DNA computing, we consider a somewhat unusual type of a computation strategy: generate a (large) set of candidate solutions of a problem, then remove the non-solutions such that what remains is the set of solutions. We call this a computation by carving.

Trends in computing with DNA

Journal of Computer Science and Technology, 2004
As an emerging new research area, DNA computation, or more generally biomolecular computation, extends into other fields such as nanotechnology and material design, and is developing into a new sub-discipline of science and engineering. This paper provides a brief survey of some concepts and developments in this area.
