The two primary papers (Adleman,1994; Lipton, 1995), to be discussed 4/12/96, present attempts to use the information content of DNA directly in computations of artificial problems. We are interested in how DNA computing works, what its advantages and disadvantages are, practical limitations, and future prospects, if any.
