Proceedings of a June 1997 workshop which brought together researchers from the biological/laboratory and algorithmic/computability communities. The workshop clarified laboratory capabilities and limitations while simultaneously exploring questions of what might be computed and how. Specific topics include physical chemistry of nucleic acid hybridization, a new DNA separation technique, wet splicing systems, parallel operations in DNA-based computation, creating three-dimensional graph structures with DNA, and design for a DNA conformational processor.
