Abstract
We want to implement evolutionary computation using DNA, with trillions of candidate solutions being simultaneously evaluated for fitness. Unsurprisingly, the most difficult aspect is designing and implementing laboratory methods for physical separation of DNA strands according to “fitness”. We propose a DNA strand design suited to the classical Royal Road Problem (E. van Nimwegen, et al.). We also propose companion laboratory operations which would physically separate these DNA strands according to the Royal Road fitness criterion
