"The Evolution of Molecular Computation." By Willem
Stemmer. Comments on the limitations of Leonard Adleman's
and Richard Lipton's DNA-computation research compared to
the utility of sequence evolution computation.
Although DNA sequencing of the selected solutions poses
a practical problem for molecular computation, this
drawback does not exist for computation with genetic
algorithms or for in vitro evolution or computer
simulations of natural evolution, called artificial
life. Sequence evolution appears to be a useful general
tool for solving many complex problems, whether the
solution is a number, sequence, program, or structure.
