FIRST ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK CREATED OUT OF DNA STRAND

We have seen many movies, books and other sources where artificial inteligence plays a vital part. By seeing those, many of us wonder if those things happen in reality and my answer is yes.What ever things we thought impossible are becoming possible day by day.Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have now taken a major step towards creating artificial intelligence- not in a robot or a silicon chip, but in a test tube.This is the first research that made artificial neural network out of DNA,creating a circuit of interacting molecules that can recall memories from a incomplete pattern just like a brain.


So we asked, instead of having a physically connected network of neural cells, can a soup of interacting molecules exhibit brain like behavior?
The answer is yes the researchers said.
Four artificial neurons are made form 112 distinct DNA strands. this neural network was subjected to a test in which it is tested to find out four diffident scientists by the clue provided by the human player through fluorescent signals.after various test a conclusion was made that each time it responded correctly.


The DNA based neural network demonstrates the ability to identify an incomplete pattern and figure out what it might represent, it is one of the unique features of brain. Biochemical systems with artificial intelligence can be used in various fields such as medicine,research,chemistry and biological research.in future this system could operate within cells to answer fundamental biological questions and disease diagnosis.It also helps in producing complex chemicals to build new kind of structures.
"Although brainlike behaviors within artificial biochemical systems have been hypothesized for decades" Qian says "they appeared to be very difficult to realize".
