Computing Inside a Living Cell 41
First time accepted submitter Rozanne writes "The new issue of Stanford Medicine magazine has a story on Stanford professor Drew Endy's creation of microscopic computers out of biological components for use inside living cells. His work is a mash-up of molecular biology and computer engineering: Instead of a computer made of silicon, metal and plastic, it's a computer made of DNA, RNA and enzymes. Endy says biologists are typically confounded at first when he explains how the computers work and how they could be used."

Based on not reading the article, is that probably there is not really an analogy with computing figured out in detail. Yet.
As a fellow uninformed member of the /. community, I'd like to second your notion and move for a vote.
All those in favor of calling Drew Endy nasty names, say "I"
Yes, yes, very nice... (Score:4, Funny)
