Joint Penn-UDel Seminar on DNA Computing
DNA-Based Computation:
Making DNA Add
Carter Bancroft
Thursday, November 21, at 11am
on the University of Pennsylvania campus,
in room 302 of the
Clinical Research Building
of the Medical School.
A DNA-based algorithm for addition is presented.
The DNA representation of two nonnegative numbers is presented in a form
permitting a chain of primer extension reactions
to carry out the addition operation.
To demonstrate the feasibility of this algorithm,
a simple example was executed biochemically.
