• Len Adleman's original paper on molecular computation November 11, 1994 Science, (Vol. 266, page 1021), Molecular Computation of Solutions to Combinatorial Problems, by Leonard M. Adleman
• Len Adleman's Draft on molecular computation and the LaTeX version.
• Fear Not Traveling Salesmen, DNA Computing is Here to Save the Day by Siddharth Srivastava. A very clear description of how the computer works.

A biblography on Molecular Computation and Splicing Systems and a version with hyperlinks to most of the (90+) papers mentioned is maintained by J.H.M.Dassen (jdassen@wi.leidenuniv.nl).
