Biocomputing can mean at least two different things:

• First, it can be defined as the construction and use of computers which function like living organisms or contain biological components, so-called biocomputers. In this meaning it is closely related to DNA computing.

• Biocomputing can also be defined as the use of computers in biological research and in this case it is referred to as Bioinformatics.

• For disambiguation, Biological computing is often used for biocomputer-based computing and Biocomputing for Bioinformatics.
