4 Conclusions
DNA computing can be referred to as an emerging branch of computing that utilizes DNA, molecular biology hardware, and biochemistry instead of traditional electronic computing. It uses molecular reaction techniques that are executed on DNA molecules. DNA computing is mainly based on four nitrogen bases, i.e., guanine, thymine, adenine, and cytosine. DNA computing provides high computation power and storage capacity due to its structure. The key challenge for implementing DNA computing is the wet lab experiments in a controlled manner. In this chapter, many research challenges are discussed faced by the research community while implementing DNA computing. Moreover, many future work directions in DNA computing are also presented in this chapter. The ability of DNA computing to perform with quantum computing and nanotechnology has widened the scope of research in the DNA computing field. In the future, this work can be expanded in any of the domains mentioned in the future work directions, including DNACloud, quantum computing, DNA nanotechnology, security, and DNA computing-based compilers.
