Abstract
The essential characteristic of DNA computation is its massive parallelism in obtaining and managing information. With the development of molecular biology technique, the field of DNA computation has made a great progress. By using an advanced biochip technique, laboratory-on-a-chip, a new DNA computing model is presented in the paper to solve a simple timetabling problem, which is a special version of the optimization problems. It also plays an important role in education and other industries. With a simulated biological experiment, the result suggested that DNA computation with lab-on-a-chip has the potential to solve a real complex timetabling problem.
