Biocomputers Made of DNA, RNA, and Proteins
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted May 26, 2007 in DNA Inventions and Gadgets
OK. I really have no idea how these DNA/RNA/protein biocomputers work (and I tried, honestly I tried) but they sound very cool.
Harvard professor Yaakov (Kobi) Benenson :
Currently we have no tools for reading cellular signals. These biocomputers can translate complex cellular signatures, such as activities of multiple genes, into a readily observed output. They can even be programmed to automatically translate that output into a concrete action, meaning they could either be used to label a cell for a clinician to treat or they could trigger therapeutic action themselves.
