Computation in Living Cells: Gene Assembly in Ciliates

by Andrzej Ehrenfeucht, Ion Petre, Tero Harju

Book Overview

Natural Computing is concerned with computation that is going on in Nature. The investigation of computations in living cells is one of the central and fastest growing areas of research in this field. Gene assembly in ciliates (unicellular organisms) is a splendid example of such computations, and it is fascinating from both the biological and the computational viewpoints. As a matter of fact, both biology and the science of computation have benefited...
