In the most literal interpretation of the term, biological computation refers to biology of a computational nature — in particular, biological systems that imbed mathematical operations — hence, its application to the emerging subdiscipline of biology that explores and exploits the use of biological systems to perform mathematical/computational operations and achieve solutions to mathematical/computational problems — for example, computing with DNA molecules[1] — and that studies the natural occurrence of computational processes in biological and living systems.[2][3][4]
