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. date: 2011-04 date_type: published publication: International Journal of Emerging Sciences volume: 1 number: 1 pagerange: 23-30 refereed: TRUE citation: Hameed, Kashif (2011) DNA Computation Based Approach for Enhanced Computing Power.
