Abstract

DNA computing is an area of natural computing based on the idea that molecular biology processes can be used to perform arithmetic and logic operations on information encoded as DNA strands. The aim of this review is to describe some of the ways in which DNA computing research has impacted fields in theoretical computer science. We namely describe how properties of DNA-based information, and in particular the Watson-Crick complementarity of DNA single strands, have influenced areas of theoretical computer science such as formal language theory, coding theory, automata theory and combinatorics on words.
