基于DNA计算自组装模型的Diffie-Hellman算法破译(英文)

DNA自组装计算模型是近年来引人关注的计算模型,已有基于自组装模型的二进制加法、乘法以及有限域中的加法和乘法的讨论．文中利用DNA自组装模型设计的模乘系统,实现了素数P的本原根g连续乘方后模p的数的排列,从而可以在线性时间内求解离散对数,为破译Diffie—Hellman密钥交换算法提供了新的生物方法．该模乘系统使用了Θ（p）种自组装类型,组装的时间复杂度为Θ（p-1）．系统最后组装结果提取出报告链后,经过PCR和凝胶电泳读取离散对数结果．该模型扩展了DNA自组装计算模型的应用,为求取离散对数提供了新思路．

DNA fragment assembly using a grid-based genetic algorithm

In this paper we propose a genetic algorithm (GA) for solving the DNA fragment assembly problem in a computational grid. The algorithm, which is named GrEA, is a steady-state GA which uses a panmitic population, and it is based on computing parallel function evaluations in an asynchronous way. We have implemented GrEA on top of the Condor system, and we have used it to solve the DNA assembly problem. This is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem which is growing in importance and complexity as more research centers become involved on sequencing new genomes. While previous works on this problem have usually faced 30 K base pairs (bps) long instances, we have tackled here a 77 K bps long one to show how a grid system can move research forward. After analyzing the basic grid algorithm, we have studied the use of an improvement method to still enhance its scalability. Then, by using a grid composed of up to 150 computers, we have achieved time reductions from tens of days down to a few hours, and we have obtained near optimal solutions when solving the 77 K bps long instance (773 fragments). We conclude that our proposal is a promising approach to take advantage of a grid system to solve large DNA fragment assembly problem instances and also to learn more about grid metaheuristics as a new class of algorithms for really challenging problems.     

An ant colony optimization algorithm for DNA sequencing by hybridization

The reconstruction of DNA sequences from DNA fragments is one of the most challenging problems in computational biology. In recent years the specific problem of DNA sequencing by hybridization has attracted quite a lot of interest in the optimization community. Several metaheuristics such as tabu search and evolutionary algorithms have been applied to this problem. However, the performance of existing metaheuristics is often inferior to the performance of recently proposed constructive heuristics. On the basis of these new heuristics we develop an ant colony optimization algorithm for DNA sequencing by hybridization. An important feature of this algorithm is the implementation in a so-called multi-level framework. The computational results show that our algorithm is currently a state-of-the-art method for the tackled problem.     

Electrochemical DNA biosensor for the detection of interaction between di[azino-di(5,6-azafluorene)-κ-NN′]dichlormanganous and DNA

A new Mn(II) complex of MnL₂Cl₂ (L = azino-di(5,6-azafluorene)-κ²-NN′) was synthesized and utilized as an electrochemical indicator for the determination of hepatitis B virus (HBV) based on its interaction with MnL₂Cl₂. The electrochemical behavior of interaction of MnL₂Cl₂ with salmon sperm DNA was investigated on glassy carbon electrode (GCE). In the presence of salmon sperm DNA, the peak current of [MnL₂]²⁺ was decreased and the peak potential was shifted positively without appearance of new peaks. The binding ratio between [MnL₂]²⁺ and salmon sperm DNA was calculated to be 2:1 and the binding constant was 3.72 × 10⁸ mol² L⁻². The extent of hybridization was evaluated on the basis of the difference between signals of [MnL₂]²⁺ with probe DNA before and after hybridization with complementary sequence. Control experiments performed with non-complementary and mismatch sequence demonstrated the good selectivity of the biosensor. With this approach, a sequence of the HBV could be quantified over the range from 1.76 × 10⁻⁸ to 1.07 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹, with a linear correlation of r = 0.9904 and a detection limit of 6.80 × 10⁻⁹ mol L⁻¹. Additionally, the binding mechanism was preliminarily discussed. The mode of interaction between MnL₂Cl₂ and DNA was found to be primary intercalation binding.
