Fault Tolerant DNA Computing Based on ‎Digital Microfluidic Biochips

   Historically, DNA molecules have been known as the building blocks of life, later on in 1994, Leonard Adelman introduced a technique to utilize DNA molecules for a new kind of computation. According to the massive parallelism, huge storage capacity and the ability of using the DNA molecules inside the living tissue, this type of computation is applied in many application areas such as me...

DNA computing

DNA computing is an alternative method of performing computations. It is based on the observation that in general it is possible to design a series of biochemical experiments involving DNA molecules which is equivalent to processing information encoded in these molecules. In classical computing devices electronic logic gates are elements which allow for storing and transforming information. Des...

1. A New Player in the History of Computation A brief look at the history of humanity shows that since the earliest days people needed to count and compute, either for measuring the months and the seasons or for commerce and construction. The means used for performing calculations were whatever was available, and thus progressed gradually from manual (digits) to mechanical (abacus, mechanical a...

Computing with DNA

Elaborating on Fost’s comments, Shapiro stressed that it is scientists who must ultimately decide on the ethical use of their innovations. “Ethical issues will always accompany science,” he said, adding that making public policy on such charged issues in a liberal democracy is by definition fraught with difficulties. First, there is the right of the individual to pursue his or her own life, goa...
