DNA Based Computers II

Download or read book DNA Based Computers II written by DIMACS (Group) and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1999 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fledgling field of DNA computers began in 1994 when Leonard Adleman surprised the scientific community by using DNA molecules, protein enzymes, and chemicals to solve an instance of a hard computational problem. This volume presents results from the second annual meeting on DNA computers held at Princeton only one and one-half years after Adleman's discovery. By drawing on the analogy between DNA computing and cutting-edge fields of biology (such as directed evolution), this volume highlights some of the exciting progress in the field and builds a strong foundation for the theory of molecular computation.
