This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conferenceproceedings of the 16th International Conference on DNA Computing and Molecular Programming, DNA16, held in Hong Kong, China, in June 2010.
The 16 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 59 submissions. The papers are well balanced between theoretical and experimental work and address all areas that relate to biomolecular computing, including demonstrations of biomolecular computing, theoretical models of biomolecular computing, biomolecular algorithms, computational processes in vitro and in vivo, analysis and theoretical models of laboratory techniques, biotechnological and other applications of DNA computing, DNA nanostructures, DNA devices such as DNA motors, DNA error evaluation and correction, in vitro evolution, molecular design, self-assembled systems, nucleic acid chemistry, and simulation tools.
