for more than forty years. Computer chip manufacturers are furiously
racing to make the next microprocessor that will topple speed records
and in the process are cramming more and more electronic devices
Many have predicted that Moore’s law (which states that the
microprocessors would double in complexity every two years) will
soon reach its end, because of the physical speed and miniaturization
of information. It has been estimated that a gram of dried DNA can hold as
can fit into an area of 1 cubic centimeter. With this small amount of DNA
All organisms on this planet are made of the same type of genetic
blueprint, which bind us together. Within the cells of any organism is a
substance called Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA), which is a double-
strandedhelix of nucleotides, which carries the genetic information of a cell.

DNA computing research is going so fast that its potential is still emerging.
Scientists and mathematicians around the world are now looking at the
