DNA learns to do math.

A microfluidic DNA processor dubbed a “lab-on-chip” has been developed by RIT researchers, capable of not only computation but also reading and writing data stored within DNA. The prototype device supports artificial neural network computations on data stored within DNA, specifically microfluidic solutions of manipulated DNA molecules. The capabilities of this DNA CPU also extend to the expected mathematical and non-linear calculations you want to see from a CPU, and it should be capable of networking functionality with other devices.

What could go wrong?

Ok so are they using mitochondria to feed the process orrr what? This is essentially mRNA and tRNA in the making but these processes require energy, still.
