The amount of information gathered on the molecular biology of DNA over the last 40
years is almost overwhelming in scope. But still a lot needs to be done for a DNA Computer to
become a reality for common people like us.
The technology is still evolving and so DNA computers will not be sold in the immediate
future at our computer show rooms. It exists only in a few specialized labs used by scientists and it
will take years to develop a workable DNA computer. But when it is built, scientists say that it will
be more compact, accurate and efficient than conventional computers. The current applications of
DNA chips are restricted to the field of medicine. Affymetrix Inc pioneered the research in the
field of DNA medicine. However now many companies such as Motorola and Corning and the
Hewlett-Packard spinoff Agilent Technologies have joined this rapidly growing technology
