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;
