ATIP02.031: DNA Computing in Japan

ABSTRACT: DNA computing, also known as molecular computing, is an attempt to harness the architecture of molecules and their inherent combinatorial complexity to solve massively parallel computational problems. After L. M. Adelman’s landmark paper concerning the construction of a general-purpose computer using biological molecules was published in 1994, interest in this field has grown steadily. Current researchers are no longer envisioning DNA computers as a replacement to modern digital silicon based computers. Rather, they are looking at new applications of these computers to efficiently solve problems in biotechnology and nanotechnology. This report identifies prominent researchers and research programs in Japan within the area of DNA computing.
