- DNA computing

rdfs:comment | - DNA computing involves computers which use DNA to perform operations. DNA computers are hundreds of thousands of times as powerful as normal computers today. Unfortunately, there have been difficulties that will make it difficult for DNA computers to become widespread. DNA is very expensive to produce, costing about fifty cents for each base pair, the equivalent of a bit. Some DNA computers have even been created that can destroy cancer cells, but these are still in experimental stages.
- In DNA computing, computational problems are translated into DNA-like strings, which are mixed in a test tube. Their properties guide the way in which these strings combine into DNA strands, and this combination provides the solution to the problem.
