Conceptual and contextual dna-based memory

DNA memories have the potential not only to store vast amount of information with high density, but also may be able to process the stored information through laboratory protocols that match content and context. This might lead to knowledge mining applications on a massively parallel scale, and to a limited capability for intelligent processing of stored data to discover semantic information. In this paper, a design for such a DNA memory is presented. © Springer-Verlag 2004
