DNA Computing and Its Applications and Implementation
The aim of this manuscript is to illustrate the current state of the art of DNA computing achievements, especially of new approaches or methods contributing to solve either theoretical or application problems. Starting with the NP-problem that Adleman solved by means of wet DNA experiment in 1994, DNA becomes one of appropriate alternatives to overcome the silicon computer limitation. Today, many researchers all over the world concentrate on subjects either to improve available methods used in DNA computing or to suggest a new way to solve engineering or application problems with a DNA computing approach. This paper gives an overview of research achievements in DNA computing and touches on the achievements of improved methods employed in DNA computing as well as in solving application problems. At the end of discussion we address several challenges that DNA computing faces in the society.
