It has emerged in recent years, not simply as an exciting technology for information processing, but also as a catalyst for knowledge transfer between information processing, nanotechnology, and biology. This area of research has the potential to change our understanding of the theory and practice of computing z. The main idea behind DNA computing is that DNA strands can be used to encode data and molecular biology
