7.3 DNA Computing: A Sophisticated Combination
of Principles and “Tools” of Information Processing
The 1990s of the last century were marked by the unexpected appearance of a new
information approach, which did not have any predecessors. In 1994, Leonard
Adleman, professor of computer science and molecular biology at the University
of Southern California in Los Angeles, published in the journal
Science
an article
entitled “Molecular computation of solutions to combinatorial problem.” This
article immediately gained many supporters and followers and became the starting
point of a large number of follow-up works.
