   DNA and electronics seem to be two different things, but a series of events has highlighted the unusual ability of DNA to form electronic components. The beauty of DNA electronics lies in the fact that it uses the techniques of genetic engineering that nature has perfected under harsh conditions over billions of years. CSIO scientists are actually heading towards a hybrid technology, in which the transistor could be made out of DNA molecules that are connected by carbon nanotubes, and other parts would be made from silicon. DNA could be used to replace not only conventional transistors, but also memory devices (Bharadwaj et al.,2002b). The elegance of DNA electronics lies in the fact that it uses the techniques of genetic engineering that nature has bestowed to it
