Review 17 of Theoretical and Experimental DNA Computation by M. Amos Published in 2005 by Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 172 pages Reviewer: Maulik A. Dave Overview Interest in DNA computing has increased among research scientists since 1990s. Author himself is a scientist working in DNA computing. The book is an overview of DNA computing. It touches both theoretical and experimental aspects. The theoretical aspects include algorithms, and computing models. The experimental aspects consist of various DNA experiments done for computing. Content Summary The book is divided into 6 chapters. 2.1 DNA molecule and operations on DNA The Ârst chapter gives a general introduction to DNA. A brief explanation of the double helix structure of DNA is followed by a detailed explanation of operations on DNA. The terms such as synthesis, denaturing, and ligation are explained. Cloning of DNA is described in details. Techniques such as Gel Electrophoresis for sorting DNA by size, Restriction Enzymes for recognizing speci Âc DNA, and Polymerase Chain Reaction for amount of DNA in a given solution, are described. 2.2 Theoretical Computer Science The second chapter introduces theoretical computer science. It begins with a brief section on gates, and boolean algebra. Models such as automata,
