👉 Gene computing, also known as biological computation or DNA computing, is a computational paradigm that leverages the natural processes of biological systems, particularly DNA molecules, to solve complex problems. Unlike traditional computing, which uses electronic circuits and binary logic, gene computing exploits the parallel processing capabilities of DNA molecules to perform computations. This involves encoding data into DNA sequences and using biochemical reactions to manipulate these sequences, effectively performing calculations at an enormous scale. The process begins by encoding input data into DNA strands, which are then manipulated through enzymatic reactions to solve specific computational problems, such as optimization or pattern recognition. The result is a highly parallel and potentially energy-efficient method of computation that can tackle problems beyond the reach of conventional computers, though it is still in the early stages of practical application and faces significant technical challenges.
