organism: the use of this algorithm in living organisms;
affect: observation that the algorithm exerts an effect on the organims;
error detection/correction: the algorithm shows an error detection/correction function;
binary: binary information can be encoded;
encryption: the use of binary encryption algorithm like AES or RSA;
utilization: storage utilization in a 100 bp DNA sequence;
