摘要

Recombinant DNA (rDNA) is a general term which refers to the DNA resulting from the process of combining a piece of one DNA with another strand of DNA. More precisely recombinant DNA is obtained from two or more different sources that have been cleaved by restriction enzymes and joined by ligases: this biological mechanism is known as gene splicing. Recently, recombinant DNA technology has received a rapid increase in interest in Molecular Biology, aimed at the development of biotechnologies. On the other hand, the surprising power of this process are stimulating interest towards the design of computational models inspired by biological phenomena. In this perspective, formal language theory appears to be a natural framework for formalizing and investigating DNA computing models. In 1987 Tom Head pioneered a language-theoretic approach for studying splicing and recombinant DNA. He introduced the splicing systems, abstract models which are a formal counterpart of the DNA recombination under the action of restriction and ligase enzymes. A splicing operation, as a model of gene splicing, is introduced as an operator on strings. There are at least three different definitions of this operation, given by Head, Paun and Pixton respectively. A splicing system is defined by giving an initial language I (simulators of the initial set of DNA molecules) and a set of special words or rules R (simulating the enzymatic action). The set I is then transformed by repeated applications of the splicing operation. In Nature DNA occurs in both linear and circular form and circular splicing occurs in a recombinant mechanism (transposition) between bacteria and plasmids, that are circular DNA molecules. Depending on the DNA form and on the definition of the splicing operation we refer to, we have different definitions of linear splicing systems and of circular splicing systems.
