The fields of computing and biology have begun to cross paths in new ways. In this paper a review of the current research in biological computing is presented. Fundamental concepts are introduced and these foundational elements are explored to discuss the possibilities of a new computing paradigm. We assume the reader to possess a basic knowledge of Biology and Computer Science.

541 EDUCATIONFORUM A dvances in computing have forever changed the practice of biological research. Computational biology, or bioinformatics, is as essential for biology in this century as molecular biology was in the last. In fact, it is diffi cult to imagine modern molecular biology without computational biology. For example, a diffi cult algorithmic puzzle had to be solved in order to succes...

Intractable problems are challenging and not uncommon in Computer Science. The computing generation we living forces us to look for an alternative way of computing, as current computers facing limitations when dealing with complex bigger input data. Physics Biology offer great alternatives solve these that traditional cannot. Models like Quantum Computing cell emerging possible solutions the co...

the philosophy of biology has existed as a distinct sub-discipline within the philosophy of science for about thirty years. the rapid growth of the field has mirrored that of the biological sciences in the same period. today the discipline is well represented in the leading journals in philosophy of science, as well as in several specialist journals. there have been two generations of textbooks...
