This document discusses DNA computing. It begins with an introduction and then discusses the working principle, advantages, and limitations of DNA computing. Some key points made include:
- DNA computing uses DNA to store information and perform complex calculations. It was first demonstrated by Leonard Adleman in 1994.
- DNA computing has advantages like extremely dense information storage, enormous parallelism, and extraordinary energy efficiency. However, it also has limitations like high costs and occasional errors.
- DNA computers show enormous potential, especially for medical purposes and data processing applications, but many issues still need to be overcome to produce a useful DNA computer.

Conclusion
4. A computer that uses DNA (deoxyribonucleic acids) to
store information and perform complex calculations.
5. Leonard
Adleman
I believe things like DNA computing will eventually
lead the way to a molecular revolution, which
ultimately will have a very dramatic effect on the
world.
7. Extremely dense information
storage.
Enormous parallelism.
Extraordinary energy efficiency.
8. . WHAT!
This image shows 1 gram
of DNA on a CD.The CD
can hold 800 MB of data.
The 1 gram of DNA can
hold about 1x1014
MB of
data.
9. A test tube of DNA can contain trillions of
strands. Each operation on a test tube of DNA is
carried out on all strands in the tube in parallel !
12. In 1994 LeonardAdleman presented the first
prototype of a DNA-Computer.TheTT-
100 was a test tube filled with 100 microliters
of a DNA-solution. He managed to solve for
example an instance of the directed
Hamiltonian path problem
15. Strands of DNA represent the seven cities. In genes, genetic
coding is represented by the letters A,T, C and G. Some sequence
of these four letters represented each city and possible flight
path.
These molecules are then mixed in a test tube, with some of
these DNA strands sticking together. A chain of these strands
represents a possible answer.
Within a few seconds, all of the possible combinations of DNA
strands, which represent answers, are created in the test tube.
Adleman eliminates the wrong molecules through chemical
reactions, which leaves behind only the flight paths that connect
all seven cities.
17. High cost is time.
Occasionally slower-Simple problems
are solved much faster on electronic
computers.
It can take longer to sort out the answer
to a problem than it took to solve the
problem.
Reliability- There is sometime errors in
the pairing of DNA strands
19. DNA COMPUTERS SHOW ENORMOUS
POTENTIAL,ESPECIALLY FOR MEDICAL
PURPOSES AS WELL AS DATA PROCESSING
APPLICATIONS.
MANY ISSUES TO OVERCOME TO PRODUCE A
USEFUL DNA COMPUTERS
STILL A LOT OF WORK AND RESOURCES
REQUIRED TO DEVELOP IT INTO A FULLY
FLEDGED PRODUCT
