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.
