The process of gene assembly in ciliates, an ancient group of organisms, is one of the most complex instances of DNA manipulation known in any organism. Three molecular operations...
Abstract. The simple intramolecular model for gene assembly in ciliates is particularly interesting because it can predict the correct assembly of all available experimental data, ...
We propose two different ways to simulate Boolean circuits in the framework of ciliate computations, based on the intramolecular and on the intermolecular gene assembly models wit...
Abstract. Gene assembly in ciliates is an impressive computational process. Ciliates have a unique way of storing their genetic information in two fundamentally different forms wi...
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...
