DNA computing exploits the unique properties of DNA molecules to encode and manipulate data. The process typically involves: 1. Encoding Data: Information is encoded into sequences of DNA strands. 2. Hybridization: Complementary DNA strands hybridize, forming double strands that represent specific computational outcomes. 3. Amplification and Reading: Techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplify the results, which are then read and interpreted.
