Some Interesting Properties Of Splicing Languages

Abstract

Tom Head[4] introduced the exciting concept of splicing system as an eective mathematical model for representing the reactionary behaviors of DNA molecules under the in uence of certain restriction enzymes and ligases in a test tube environment. A corresponding splicing language can be generated by splicing system. In this paper, we have given some new characterizations for splicing languages, analyzed various types of splicing systems and brought out a number of new algebraic properties.
