Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new automata called Watson-Crick jumping finite automata, working on tapes which are double stranded sequences of symbols, similar to that of a Watson-Crick automata. This automata scans the double stranded sequence in a discontinuous manner (i.e.) after reading a double stranded string, the automata can jump over some subsequence and continue scanning, depending on the rule. We define some variants of such automata and compare the languages accepted by these variants with the language classes in Chomsky hierarchy. We also investigate some closure properties.

A jumping $$5'\rightarrow 3'$$ 5 ′ → 3 ′

TL;DR: The accepting power of the new model of Watson–Crick finite automata is studied and compared with the original models and also other well-known language families, and a comprehensive hierarchy of all related language families is presented.

Duplication in DNA Sequences

TL;DR: In this paper, a characterization of regular languages that are generated by duplicating a regular language has been presented, and properties of these operations, such as closure properties of language families in the Chomsky hierarchy, language equations involving duplication and repeat-deletion have been investigated.

Duplications and Pseudo-Duplications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider three variants of duplication operations, namely, duplication, pseudo-duplication and reverse duplication, and give the necessary and sufficient number of states that a non-deterministic finite automaton needs to recognize duplications on a string.

Bounded prefix-suffix duplication

TL;DR: The k-prefix-suffix duplication distance between two words is defined, extended to languages and shown how it can be computed for regular languages.
