Bacterial Computing: Using E. coli to Solve the Burnt Pancake Problem.

The article offers information on bacterial computing in the U.S. It mentions that synthetic biology uses mathematical modeling and molecular biology techniques which construct biological devices with applications in medicine. It states the three feats of genetic engineering which can solve the burnt pancake problem (BPP) in living cells which include encoding a signed permutation, endowing the bacterium with the ability to flip segment of its DNA, and the presence of the identity permutation.
