1.4 Short Conclusions and Comments on the Book
Overall, the DNA computing is a multidisciplinary research area with major contributions from synthetic biology, nanotechnology, computer science, chemical engineering, biosensing and biotechnology, biology and medicine, etc. Some of the research areas are already reaching the mature states, while others are still in the infancy. It is still not easy to predict in what direction the research will go and what applications will be more benefiting from the DNA computing. In the most probability, practical applications will be in two major subareas: medicine with the DNA information processing nanorobotic systems operating in vivo [103,104] and large data storage systems providing extremely high density of the information storage [84,105]. Many other applications of the DNA computing are in the research and discussion [106,107]. However, it is quite unexpected that the DNA computing will come to the end users instead of standard electronic computers, at least in the short perspective.
The present book, composed of the chapters written by the best experts in the field, covers all subtopics of the DNA computing, including the design of Boolean logic gates and circuitries, programming the DNA information processing systems, their biomedical applications and operation in vivo, DNA data storage and nanopore DNA decoding, and interfacing of the DNA computing with enzyme logic systems, and many more detailed explanations on the DNA and RNA computing with many references and illustrations.
