This field was initially developed by Leonard Adleman of the University of Southern California, in 1994.[1] Adleman demonstrated a proof-of-concept use of DNA as a form of computation which solved the seven-point Hamiltonian path problem. Since the initial Adleman experiments, advances have been made and various Turing machines have been proven to be constructible.
In 2002, researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, unveiled a programmable molecular computing machine composed of enzymes and DNA molecules instead of silicon microchips.[4] On April 28, 2004, Ehud Shapiro, Yaakov Benenson, Binyamin Gil, Uri Ben-Dor, and Rivka Adar at the Weizmann Institute announced in the journal Nature that they had constructed a DNA computer coupled with an input and output module which would theoretically be capable of diagnosing cancerous activity within a cell, and releasing an anti-cancer drug upon diagnosis.
In 2009, biocomputing systems were coupled with standard silicon based chips for the first time. In this experiment, an enzyme based OR-Reset/AND-Reset logic system was achieved using field-effect Silicon chips. This advancement could yield great potential in the fields of Synthetic Biology, and Biomedical Engineering, as it marks the integration of biological and electro-mechanical systems on a sub-cellular level.
For certain specialized problems, DNA computers are faster and smaller than any other computer built so far. Furthermore, particular mathematical computations have been demonstrated to work on a DNA computer. As an example, Aran Nayebi has provided a general scalable implementation of Strassen's matrix multiplication algorithm on a DNA computer.
What happened They made a good point about the lack of parallel processing which is ironic since it seems like alot of DB could be parralized even if it was a bit inefficient.Quote from: HoushalterWe need to run Darwinbots on a super computer someday. I can't wait to see a zerobot after 10 million generations. Is there any way we can do this, ever?Been there done that (once)
