Produktbeschreibung
Sir Francis Crick would undoubtedly be at the front of the line ordering this fascinating book. Being one of the discoverers of DNA, he would be amazed at how his work has been applied to mankind's most important invention, the computer. In this excellent text, the reader is given a comprehensive introduction to the field of DNA computing. The book emphasizes computational methods to tackle central problems of DNA computing, such as controlling living cells, building patterns, and generating nanomachines. It also includes laboratory-scale human-operated models of computation, as well as a description of the first experiment of DNA computation conducted by Adleman in 1994.

Autorenporträt
DNA contains the genetic instructions for the biological development of cellular life forms or viruses. DNA computing uses DNA as a substrate for storing information, while molecular biological operations are used to manipulate this information. This book provides the reader with a comprehensive introduction to the field of DNA computing. It emphasizes computational methods to tackle central problems of DNA computing, such as controlling living cells, building patterns, and generating nanomachines. The volume is intended for researchers and graduate-level students in computer science, bioengineering and molecular biology as a reference book. It is also appropriate for practitioners in industry.
Rezensionen
From the reviews: "The book is very timely and will likely open up this emerging research area to many current and future researchers. Especially for people on the theoretical computer science side of things, DNA computing has the potential to provide many challenging and exciting new problems. ... this book appears to be a collection of survey papers on the topic of DNA computing." (Burkhard Englert, ACM Computing Reviews, November, 2008)
