Joint Penn-UDel Seminar on DNA Computing

DNA-Based Computation:
Making DNA Add

Carter Bancroft
Department of Physiology and Biophysics
Mount Sinai School of Medicine

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.

Thursday, November 21, at 11am on the University of Pennsylvania campus, in room 302 of the Clinical Research Building of the Medical School.


The joint Penn-UDel Seminar on DNA Computing meets monthly on Thursday mornings.
