Two models for gene assembly in ciliates have been proposed and investigated in the last few years. The DNA manipulations postulated in the two models are very different: one mode...
that graph transformations provide the right level of abstraction, and useful technical tools for studying gene assembly. On the other hand, the gene assembly process inspires a ne...
We investigate in this paper a simple intramolecular model for gene assembly in ciliates. Unlike the general intramolecular model, the folds that a micronuclear chromosome may for...
