Description: |
The premises of using carbon instead of silicon, and DNA molecules instead of microchips, have been studied extensively. This text introduces the fundamental theory of DNA computing, from the basics of biochemistry and language, to the most advanced mathematical theory developed so far. |
Synopsis: |
This is the first book on DNA computing, a molecular approach that may revolutionize computing-replacing silicon with carbon and microchips with DNA molecules. The book starts with an introduction to DNA computing, exploring the power of complementarity, the basics of biochemistry, and language and computation theory. It then brings the reader to the most advanced theories develop thus far in this emerging research area. |
