Jap. 43, No.3, 607-632 (1996). py: 1996 pu: la: EN cc: ut: splicing operation ci: li: ab: Summary: We present here the main ideas and the main results concerning the splicing operation (a model of the recombinant behavior of DNA sequences under the influence of restriction enzymes and ligases) as a possible support for designing universal and programmable computers. Our approach is mathematically oriented, not biochemically. Related topics are also briefly discussed. rv:
