Woah. Though wasn't there buzz a few years ago around biological computers or something?
all biological computer research still seems like novelty proof of concept. I wouldn't be surprised if nothing ever comes out there. There is the massive parallelism benefit just like with chemical computers, but not much else. Plus they are slow. If anything is going to take ground from silicon semiconductors it will be optical computing and maybe some quantum based systems. That's where the future is.
You mean successfully storing/retrieving info on DNA, or something else?
