BIOSTORAGE. "The University of Leeds is trying to use bacteria to build hard drives, and there’s even potential to use salmon testes in storage devices. But Gale says that this type of research helps us do more than just create new types of computers. It also helps us understand life itself."" " http://lnkd.in/bapF6Rd. View in LinkedIn

SALMON TESTES DNA as storage devices. Seriously. "Researchers... recently used salmon DNA to build a write-once-read-many (WORM) data storage device. Data is written to the device with a laser and read electronically, and you can enjoy the thought that your data’s sitting on a piece of sushi."" " http://lnkd.in/bcR7QDW View in LinkedIn

DNA DATA STORAGE. "A bioengineer and geneticist at Harvard's Wyss Institute have successfully stored 5.5 petabytes of data (around 700 terabytes) in a single gram of DNA, smashing the previous DNA data density record by a thousand times."" " http://lnkd.in/bVW87Bs View in LinkedIn

BIONUMERATE. "Israeli scientists have built a biological computer using only biomolecules like enzymes and DNA (and) have created a molecular transducer – an advanced computing machine – built entirely of biomolecules that can manipulate genetic codes. Their transducer can perform a long division of binary numbers by three and performed an iterative computation."" " http://lnkd.in/bm9pBC3 View in LinkedIn

MOVING GOALPOSTS. competition between wires and proteins. "NSA Utah Data Center Will Have 5 Zettabytes Of Memory, Equal To 312 Billion iPhones". " " http://lnkd.in/bVW87Bs View in LinkedIn

FRESH VIEW. “Every one of us is a biomolecular computer, that is, a machine in which all components are molecules ‘talking’ to one another in a logical manner. The hardware and software are complex biological molecules that activate one another to carry out some predetermined chemical tasks. The input is a molecule that undergoes specific, programmed changes, following a specific set of rules (software) and the output of this chemical computation process is another well-defined molecule.""

INTELLIGENT Dx + Rx. “We envision nanometer-sized computing devices (made of biomolecules) to roam our bodies in search of diseases in their early stage. These devices would have the ability to sense disease indicators, diagnose the disease, and treat it by administering or activating a therapeutic biomolecule. They could be delivered to the bloodstream or operate inside cells of a specific organ or tissue and be given as a preventive care.” " " http://m.phys.org/news/2011-07-biomolecular-autonomously-multiple-disease.html View in LinkedIn

"DNA computers have massive degrees of parallel processing capability. The massive parallel processing characteristic of DNA computers is of particular interest in solving ... hard combinatorial problems."" " http://www.hindawi.com/journals/abi/2013/341419/ View in LinkedIn

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.""
