Summary
This paper gives a method to implement additions with one common addend in parallel by DNA computing. The main idea is to divide every addition into bit addings, and perform the bit addings of different additions in parallel. The key bio-operation used in this paper is “back-to-back” cut, which can be accomplished by restriction endonucleases.
