Description

We wish to suggest an algorithm for biological search including DNA search. Our argument supposes that biological search be performed by quantum search. If we assume this, we can naturally answer the following long lasting puzzles such that 'Why does DNA use the helix structure?' and 'How can the evolution in biological system occur?'
