MOTHERBOARD
DNA molecule
arrangement
in DNA chip.
Began in 1994 when Dr. Leonard
Adleman wrote the paper “Molecular
computation of solutions to
combinatorial problems”.
DNA computers moved from test tubes
onto gold plates.
First practical DNA computer unveiled in
2002. Used in gene analysis.
Self-powered DNA computer unveiled
in 2003.
•1 gm of DNA = 1*10^14 MB of
data.
• LEONARD
ALDEMAN SOLVED THE
HAMILTONIAN PATH PROBLEM.
DARWIN

ALICE
PERTH SPRING
SYDNEY
MELBOURNE
Is there any Hamiltonian path from Darwin to
Alice Spring?
Within a few seconds, all of the possible
combinations of DNA strands, which represent
answers, are created in the test tube.
SYDNEY
MELBOURNE
Encode each city with complementary base –
vertex molecules
Sydney - TTAAGG
Perth - AAAGGG
Melbourne - GATACT
Brisbane - CGGTGC
Alice Spring – CGTCCA
Darwin - CCGATG
Encode all possible paths using the
complementary base – edge molecules:
ANNEALING

AMPLIFICATION
SELECTION
Given a test tube T & A
strand S, it is possible to
extract all the possible
strands in T that contain
S as subsequence & to
separate them from
those that do not contain
it.
