    Algorithms for Nucleic Acid Sequence Design Thesis by Joseph N. Zadeh In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 2010 (Defended December 8, 2009) ii © 2010 Joseph N. Zadeh All Rights Reserved iii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I thank Professor Niles Pierce for his mentorship and dedication to this work. He always goes to great lengths to make time for each member of his research group and ensures we have the best resources available. Professor Pierce has fostered a creative environment of learning, discussion, and curiosity with a particular emphasis on quality. I am grateful for the tremendously positive influence he has had on my life. I am fortunate to have had access to Professor Erik Winfree and his group. They have been very helpful in pushing the limits of our software and providing fun test cases. I am also honored to have two other distinguished researchers on my thesis committee: Stephen Mayo and Paul Rothemund. All of the work presented in this thesis is the result of collaboration with extremely talented individuals. Brian Wolfe and I codeveloped the multiobjective design algorithm (Chapter 3). Brian has also been instru- mental in finessing details of the single-complex algorithm (Chapter 2) and contributing to the parallelization of NUPACK’s core routines. I would also like to thank Conrad Steenberg, the NUPACK software engineer (Chapter 4), who has significantly improved the performance of the site and developed robust secondary structure drawing code. Another codeveloper on NUPACK, Justin Bois, has been a good friend, mentor, and reliable coding partner.

    Analysis of Interacting Nucleic Acids in Dilute Solutions Thesis by Justin S. Bois In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 2007 (Defended April 30, 2007) ii © 2007 Justin S. Bois All Rights Reserved iii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I thank Prof. Niles Pierce. He has provided me with a working environment where I am free to explore topics that spark my curiosity, all the while participating in an ambitious research program making nucleic acids do things I never imagined they could. He is a good scientific citizen, committed to ethically and passionately conducting meaningful research, providing quality instruction in the classroom, reaching out to the youth in the community, and improving the Institute as a whole. In the last several years, he has profoundly influenced my development as a scientist, leading by example with skill, enthusiasm, and integrity. I have had the good fortune of being co-advised by (and being a teaching-assistant with) Prof. Zhen- Gang Wang. He has consistently provided clear, patient advice. His depth of understanding is apparent in his comments, and also in his probing questions. He has encouraged me to think deeply about scientific problems and to distill them to their essentials. He has very generously shared his talents with me, and I am very grateful. My other two committee members have also been very helpful to me in the past couple of years. Prof. Erik Winfree and his group are close collaborators, also being creative with nucleic acids. I have had many fruitful discussions with him, finding them both challenging and enjoyable.

  • DNA Computing
    Computing Handbook Set - Computer Science (Volume I) Chapter: DNA Computing Sudhanshu Garg, Reem Mokhtar, Tianqi Song, Hieu Bui, Nikhil Gopalkrishnan, John Reif [email protected] Department of Computer Science, Duke University (Reif is also Adjunct, Technology (FCIT), King Abdulaziz University (KAU), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) Organization of Chapter Molecular computing is computation done at the molecular scale. DNA computing is a class of molecular computing that does computation by the use of reactions involving DNA molecules. DNA computing has been by far the most successful (in scale and complexity of the computations and molecular assemblies done) of all known approaches to molecular computing, perhaps due in part to the very well established biotechnology and biochemistry on which its experimental demonstration relies, as well as the frequent teaming of scientists in the field with multiple essential disciplines including chemistry, biochemistry, physics, material science, and computer science. This chapter surveys the field of DNA computing. It begins in Section 1 with a discussion of the underlying principles, including motivation for molecular and DNA computations (Section 1.1), brief overviews of DNA structures (Section 1.2), chemical reaction systems (Section 1.3), DNA reactions (Section 1.4), and classes of protocols and computations (Section 1.5). Then, the chapter discusses potential applications of DNA computing research (Section 2). The main section on research issues (Section 3.1) overviews how DNA computation is done, with a discussion of DNA hybridization circuits, including both solution-based as well as localized hybridization circuits. It also discusses design and simulation software for the same. We discuss DNA detectors in Section 3.2, DNA replicators in Section 3.3, DNA nanorobotic devices in Section 3.4, and DNA dynamical systems in Section 3.5.

  • Analysis, Design, and Construction of Nucleic Acid Devices
    ANALYSIS, DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION OF NUCLEIC ACID DEVICES Thesis by Robert M. Dirks In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 2005 (Defended 11 May 2005) ii c 2005 Robert M. Dirks All Rights Reserved iii Acknowledgments First and foremost I would like to thank my advisor, Niles Pierce, and the rest of my lab-mates for creating a wonderful learning environment that fosters teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking. All of the work in this thesis would not have been possible without them. I would also like to thank my committee, Steve Mayo, Bill Goddard, Nate Lewis, and Erik Winfree, for all of their constructive criticism and suggestions along the way. In addition, the following members of the Mayo lab have been especially helpful in providing both experimental and computational tips: Rhonda DiGiusto, Geoff Hom, Premal Shah and Possu Huang. From the Winfree lab, Paul Rothemund and Joe Schaeffer have been wonderful sources of good ideas and suggestions about all things DNA. My parents Mike and Suree, and my brother Bill, also deserve praise for the support they have given me throughout my life. Finally, I would like to acknowledge my fianc´ee, Christine Ueda, for helping with experiments, listening to me rant and rave on a wide range of topics, and for filling these last few years with tremendous joy. Thank you all! iv Abstract Nucleic acids present great promise as building blocks for nanoscale devices. To achieve this poten- tial, methods for the analysis and design of DNA and RNA need to be improved.
