Abstract

We propose a model for representing and manipulating binary numbers on a DNA chip which allows parallel execution of simple arithmetic. As an example we describe how addition of large binary numbers can be done by using a DNA chip. The number of steps is independent of the size (bits) of the numbers. However, the time for some biochemical reactions is still large, and increases with the size of the sequences to be assembled.
