DNA COMPUTING

Domain	Definition
Computing	DNA computing The use of DNA molecules to encode computational problems. Standard operations of molecular biology can then be used to solve some NP-hard search problems in parallel using a very large number of molecules. The exponential scaling of NP-hard problems still remains, so this method will require a huge amount of DNA to solve large problems. [L. M. Adleman, "Molecular Computation of Solutions to Combinatorial Problems", Science 266:1021-1024, 1994]. (1997-02-11). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.

Specialty Definition: DNA computing

DNA computing is a form of computing which uses DNA and molecular biology, instead of the traditional computer technologies. This field was initially developed, in 1994, by Leonard Adleman (University of Southern California). In addition, Bernhard Yurke (Bell Labs) has developed DNA motors.
