DNA contains the genetic instructions for the biological development of
cellular life forms or viruses. DNA computing uses DNA as a substrate
for storing information, while molecular biological operations are used
to manipulate this information. This book provides the reader with a
comprehensive introduction to the field of DNA computing. It emphasizes
computational methods to tackle central problems of DNA computing, such
as controlling living cells, building patterns, and generating
nanomachines. The volume is intended for researchers and graduate-level
students in computer science, bioengineering and molecular biology as a
reference book. It is also appropriate for practitioners in industry.
