What's New in DNA Computing and Its Latest Developments?

AI Thread Summary
DNA computing is an emerging technology that utilizes biological molecules for computational processes. Recent discussions highlight significant advancements in the field, including the ability to manufacture DNA structures for specific purposes, such as creating microscopic images. Notable contributions include Leonard Adelman's classic 1994 paper on using DNA to solve the Hamiltonian path problem and a more recent 2007 paper on a DNA-based sorting algorithm. These developments indicate a growing interest in the potential applications of DNA computing, suggesting it could be a viable alternative to traditional computing methods.

Hello,

This morning, I was reading some stuff about DNA Computing on wiki, arstechnica, and other places.. I found it quite interesting and want to know the latest happening in the same area. If any of you is working on this new technology then please let's discuss about it.

Thanks

I do not work in the area (Biology degree student) yet I can reffer you to a couple of papers on DNA computing.

The classic paper by Leonard Adelman(1994) on solving a hamiltonian path problem with DNA http://www.ra.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/~virazela/Seminar/adl94.pdf"

A recent paper (2007) on a sorting algorithm by flipping using dna "[URL

Hope it helps.

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
