| Synopsis: |
Molecular computing (especially DNA computing) means using biomolecules as a support for computations and devising computers. This is in contrast to the approach where computers are used in studying molecules (especially DNA), a field now commonly termed the science of bioinformatics. Using DNA as a "chip" or support for computation is not a new idea, and has been speculated upon since the 1950's. Adleman's 1994 report on solving the Hamiltonian Path Problem in a graph, using only biochemical laboratory techniques, was the turning point in making possible the construction of large computers of huge parallelism, which are able to incorporate the features of matching, splicing (cross over), insertion and deletions of data structures (strings and languages), all features typical of the living DNA molecule. This work brings together over 20 international contributions on the theoretical and experimental works of scientists in search of the bio-computer. The style of the contributions is that of research papers and surveys. |
