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 (Kaminuma, 1991). In this meaning it is closely related to Dna computing. Biocomputing could also be defined as the use of computers in biological research and in this case it is often reffered to as Bioinformatics.
