%A Kashif Hameed %J International Journal of Emerging Sciences %T DNA Computation Based Approach for Enhanced Computing Power %X DNA computing is a discipline that aims at harnessing individual molecules at the nano-scopic level for computational purposes. Computation with DNA molecules possesses an inherent interest for researchers in computers and biology. Given its vast parallelism and high-density storage, DNA computing approaches are employed to solve many problems. DNA has also been explored as an excellent material and a fundamental building block for building large-scale nanostructures, constructing individual nano-mechanical devices, and performing computations. Molecular-scale autonomous programmable computers are demonstrated allowing both input and output information to be in molecular form. This paper presents a review of recent advancements in DNA computing and presents major achievements and challenges for researchers in the coming future. %N 1 %K Computation, Computing DNA Evolutionary Power, %P 23-30 %V 1 %D 2011 %L cogprints7291
