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.

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
