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...
Weighted finite automata (WFA) are used with FPGA accelerating hardware to scan large genomic banks. Hardwiring such automata raises surface area and clock frequency constraints,...

The stichotrichous ciliates are uni-cellular organisms which undergo a series of complex unscrambling of genetic encodings. This ability to rearrange DNA to produce the correct pr...
Sense of direction is a property of the edge-labeling of a network whose availability facilitates computations and often decreases their complexity. In this paper we consider the ...
In this paper we study a generalization of the classical notions of bordered and unbordered words, motivated by DNA computing. DNA strands can be viewed as finite strings over th...
The basic properties of distributivity and deletion of pure and o-substitution are investigated. The obtained results are applied to show preservation of recognizability in a numb...
