	Wettestware - computing with DNA Discover - Find Articles
		Adleman tackled a version of the "traveling salesman" problem, in which a person is presented with a map of a certain number of cities, a number of specified roads connecting the various cities, and a starting and an ending point.
		Adleman mixed in a test tube some 100 trillion DNA molecules containing all 7 cities and 14 roads, and let them join up as they saw fit.
		But because Adleman used so many copies of each DNA city and street, at least one of the combinations that formed was bound to link the cities correctly.

		Len Adleman', one of the co-inventors of the RSA algorithm, provided some technical guidance on the film in exchange for giving his wife a chance to meet lead actor Robert Redford.
		Len Adleman' is one of the three mathematicians who invented the RSA (he's the "A") cryptosystem, currently the preeminent method of encrypting any form of data in the world.
		Adleman served as a mathematical consultant on the film, and spent several days constructing the slides Janek displays at the college symposium on "unbreakable codes" (which took Adleman a considerable amount of time to create using primitive early-'90s computer graphics technology).

	The My Hero Project - Leonard Adleman
		Born on December 31, 1945, Leonard Adleman was to become a theoretical computer scientist who would eventually unlock one of the many secrets of DNA.
		Adleman came up with an idea to use DNA as a sequence to create the path between the cities.
		Adleman would give each city a random sequence of six nucleotides (A, T, C, and G, representing Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine) and then by running DNA through several elimination style tests, would produce the correct sequence of nucleotides and thus the correct path.

		It was developed by Len Adleman, Ron Rivest and Adi Shamir, three professors from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Laboratory for Computer Science in Boston.
		The crucial breakthrough was made by Ron Rivest, but appreciating that the research was very much a joint effort, he was planning to call the cipher ARS, the initials of the three inventors in alphabetical order.
		Adleman felt uncomfortable about his name being first, as it was Ron Rivest who had the crucial insight.

	Special: DNA unraveled
		But in November 1994, Len Adleman at the University of Southern California unveiled a model for an unconventional computer that just might lead one day to a solution of the traveling salesman problem: a test-tube containing one-fiftieth of a teaspoon of water teeming with DNA.
		Virtually no one was working on DNA computing when Adleman, known for his work on computer security and for coining the term "computer virus," published his results in Science in 1994.
		Respondents to Adleman's article have also detailed complex difficulties in scaling up his procedures, possibly limiting DNA computing to simple problems, for which conventional computers are already sufficient (or superior, since DNA computers are too slow at serial processing to compete with PCs or mainframes).

		Adleman pointed out the similarity to a biological virus, which uses the resources of the cell it attacks to reproduce itself, and the term "computer virus" began its journey into everyday English.
		In 1983 the term "virus" was first coined to describe self-replicating programs by Frederick Cohen and his colleague, Len Adleman.
		The first reports of serious damage from a PC virus occurred in 1986; the infection was caused by the "Pakistani Brain" virus, which was written by two brothers, Basit and Amjad Farooq Alvi, of Lahore, Pakistan.

	DNA Computing
		DNA computing was grounded in reality at the end of 1994, when Len Adleman of USC announced that he had solved a small instance of a computationally intractable problem using a small vial of DNA.
		To implement step 1 of the algorithm, Adleman created a 20-mer sequence of DNA for each city A through G. For each path i>j, an oligonucleotide was created that was the 3' 10-mer of i and 5' 10-mer of j (see figure 2).
		Although Adleman's first application of the computer took only milliseconds to produce a solution, it took about a week to fish the solution molecules out from the rest of the possible path molecules that had formed.

	Get Ready to Grow Your Own Computer ..... ; REVIEW - Technology - RedOrbit
		On the way to describing how a colourful scientist named Len Adleman opened the door to this new science, Amos provides lucid histories of mathematics, computing, the invention of the integrated circuit and discovery of DNA, all of which are improbably knockabout and entertaining.
		One of his default themes is the elliptical nature of discovery: significantly, Adleman is a mathematician who became interested in biology through an attempt to combat HIV.
		In the 21st Century, the sciences appear to be reconverging, which means that mavericks such as biochemist Kary Banks Mullis, the only Nobel laureate who confesses enthusiasm for LSD and claims to have been abducted by aliens (no connection there, obviously), may well multiply like the bacteria being grown for their experiments.
