The evolution of cellular computing: nature's solution to a computational problem.

Bio Systems - 1 Oct 1999

Landweber L F, Kari L

Abstract excerpt

How do cells and nature 'compute'? They read and 'rewrite' DNA all the time, by processes that modify sequences at the DNA or RNA level. In 1994, Adleman's elegant solution to a seven-city directed Hamiltonian path problem using DNA launched the new field of DNA computing, which in a few years has grown to international scope. However, unknown to this field, two ciliated protozoans of the genus Oxytricha had...
