Beyond DNA: New Digital Polymers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract From a programming perspective, DNA is stunningly simple: string of bits coding two types interactions. The specific chemical form given to us by evolution imposes significant constraints on what possible with nanotechnology. In this paper, I propose three designs for new digital DNA-like polymers that retain the essential information-bearing properties while enabling functions not achievable such as greater stability, programmability, and precision.

متن کاملDigital PCR: a new DNA quantification tool
Digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a quantitative PCR technique with potential to be more accurate and precise than real-time quantitative PCR without the need for a standard curve. The digital PCR sample/reaction mix is randomly distributed into a large number of partitions, such that some partitions contain no copies of the nucleic acid template and others contain at least one copy. F...

If we study available evidence, the digital divide is closing rapidly. During the last decade, millions of people have gained access to computers every year. Never in the human history there have been so many people with access to computers, digital networks, and electronic communication technologies. Census Bureau's Current Population Surveys indicate that telephone penetration has stabilized ...

He was a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University before joining Louisiana State University where he became a full professor in 1978, and then LSU Distinguished Research Master in 1982. In 1986, Dr. Newkome joined the University of South Florida in Tampa as their first Vice President for Research...
متن کاملBeyond Digital Naturalism
The success of Artificial Life depends on whether it will help solving the conceptual problems of biology. Biology may be viewed as the science of the transformation of organizations. And, yet, biology lacks a theory of organization. We use this as an example of the challenge that Artificial Life must meet. "If as I believe physics and chemistry are conceptually inadequate as a theoretical fram...
