Development of DNA Relational Database and Data Manipulation Experiments

摘要

An enormous amount of data such as genomic data can be stored into DNA molecules as base sequences. DNA database is important for organizing and maintaining these data, because extracted data from DNA database can be directly manipulated by chemical reactions. In this paper, we develop a DNA relational database with a simple data model and realize a computational model (relational algebra) of data manipulation as a sequence of chemical experiments. By using the developed database, it is shown that we can execute query operations based on the contents of data (the values of attributes). Furthermore, we propose a conversion scheme of query input to a series of experiment operations.
