Biocomputing can mean at least two different things:

  • First, it can be defined as the construction and use of computers which function like living organisms or contain biological components, so-called biocomputers. In this meaning it is closely related to DNA computing.
  • Biocomputing can also be defined as the use of computers in biological research and in this case it is often referred to as Bioinformatics.
