BIO-SUPERCOMPUTING: “about 10 to the 18th DNA molecules can be produced … in a medium-sized laboratory test tube. Each of these DNA molecules could act as a small processor. Biological operations such as hybridization, separation, setting, and clearing can be performed simultaneously on all of these DNA strands. Thus, in an in vitro assay, we could handle about 10 to the 18th DNA molecules or we can say that 10 to the 18th data processors can be executed in parallel.””
