--- abstract: '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.' altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Hameed given: Kashif honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2011-04 date_type: published datestamp: 2011-05-02 17:07:47 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/72/91 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 7291 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/7291/1/4254114.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'Computation, Computing DNA Evolutionary Power,' lastmod: 2011-05-02 17:07:47 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 1 pagerange: 23-30 pubdom: TRUE publication: International Journal of Emerging Sciences publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 21 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2011-05-02 17:07:47 subjects: - JOURNALS succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: DNA Computation Based Approach for Enhanced Computing Power type: journale userid: 13536 volume: 1
