This project is based on one of our previously published article [1]. Artificial intelligence is one prevailing research field in recent years, but most of the implementations are on traditional silicon-based computers or chips. Is it possible to use biochemical materials to implement such systems? Our previous paper provides one possible method, but it is validated by only simulations. In this project, we aim to implement such a system in wet experiments. Also, to aid the design of such systems, we will develop a small software to automatically generate required DNA topological structures.
In our system, the concentrations of some input DNA species will be regarded as the input to the neural network. Some mathematical calculations are performed in solutions (weighted summation, activation, etc.) and the output of the neural network is the concentration of some certain DNA strands, similarly.
