Biological computation refers to the computation that uses biological macromolecules as data for information processing. Biological macromolecules mainly include DNA, RNA, and proteins, and consequently, biological computation can be divided into DNA computation, RNA computation, and protein computation. Limited by the level of biochemical operation technology, biological computation research is currently mainly focused on DNA computation. This book focuses on DNA computation and also gives a certain introduction to RNA computation and protein computation. This chapter introduces the background of the emergence of biological computation, research significance, and research progress.

摘要

Biological computation refers to the computation that uses biological macromolecules as data for information processing. Biological macromolecules mainly include DNA, RNA, and proteins, and consequently, biological computation can be divided into DNA computation, RNA computation, and protein computation. Limited by the level of biochemical operation technology, biological computation research is currently mainly focused on DNA computation. This book focuses on DNA computation and also gives a certain introduction to RNA computation and protein computation. This chapter introduces the background of the emergence of biological computation, research significance, and research progress.
