If you have a question about this talk, please contact INI IT. This talk has been canceled/deleted The development of technology to read and write DNA quickly and cheaply is enabling new opportunities for programming biological systems. One example of this is DNA computing, a field devoted to implementing computation in purely biological materials. The hope is that this would enable computation to be performed inside cells, which could pave the way for so-called “smart therapeutics”. Naturally, what we have learned in computer science can be applied to DNA computing systems, and has enabled the implementation of a wide variety of examples of performing computation. Examples include DNA circuits for computing a square root, implementing artificial neural networks, and a general scheme for describing arbitrary chemical reaction networks (CRNs), which itself can be thought of as a compiler.
