The rudiments of China's first DNA computer have been developed at Shanghai Jiaotong University.

The computer is an improvement on the proto type developed by Israeli scientists.

Instead of the CMOS chips used in ordinary computers the DNA computers rely on DNA liquor. Each DNA segment works as a microprocessor in the computer.

Scientists say the computer can be used for gene expression patterns technology or gene therapy in the future.
