Watson---Crick palindromes in DNA computing
Lila Kari,Kalpana Mahalingam +1 more
TL;DR: An overview of existing approaches to encoding information on DNA strands for biocomputing, with a focus on the notion of Watson–Crick (WK) palindromes, and obtains a closed form for, as well as several properties of WK palINDromes.
Book ChapterDOI
Watson-Crick conjugate and commutative words
Lila Kari,Kalpana Mahalingam +1 more
TL;DR: The classical notions of conjugacy and commutativity of words are generalized to incorporate the notion of an involution function, a formalization of the Watson-Crick complementarity of DNA single-strands.
Book ChapterDOI
Languages of DNA Based Code Words
TL;DR: This paper builds upon the study initiated in [11] and gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite set of “good” code words to generate (through concatenation) an infinite set of "good" code words with the same properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Involution codes: with application to DNA coded languages
TL;DR: This work investigates conditions under which both X and X+ are same type of involutions codes, and general methods for generating such involution codes are given.
