New DNA computer stores long-term cellular memory.

The exciting field of biocomputing involves the processing and storing of information in living cells. This discipline is currently being developed with a view to next-generation therapeutics and for capturing events within the body. In DNA computing, the input is represented using the four-character genetic alphabet, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine, rather than the binary alphabet used by traditional computers. Still, DNA computational technology has … Continue reading New DNA computer stores long-term cellular memory.
