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...
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...
We consider a graph-theoretical formalization of the process of gene assembly in ciliates introduced in Ehrenfeucht et al (2003), where a gene is modeled as a signed graph. The ge...
We investigate some differences between the general intramolecular model for gene assembly and its restricted simple model. Although both models satisfactorily sort all current ex...
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...
