The concept of biological computation proposes that living organisms perform computations, and that as such, abstract ideas of information and computation may be key to understanding biology.

Biological computers use biologically derived molecules — such as DNA and/or proteins — to perform digital or real computations. The development of biocomputers has been made possible by the expanding new science of nanobiotechnology.

2012年6月12日 · The author explains models of computation, experimental examples — sometimes inspired by the complex computation that is part of natural biological systems — and potential applications.

Computational biology is the science that answers the question “How can we learn and use models of biological systems constructed from experimental measurements?”

Biocomputing uses molecular biology parts as the hardware to implement computational devices. By following pre-defined rules, often hard-coded into biological systems, these devices are able to process inputs and return outputs—thus computing information.
