[Colloquium] Genetic Computers

This talk is based on three principles: Biologists and Engineers view Programming Problems very Differently; Encoding of Genetic Information is by both Nucleic Acid Structure (flipons) and Sequence (codons); Encoding Genetic Programs by Structure is More Adaptive than by Sequence. I will use the biology of left-handed Z-DNA and Z-RNA to exemplify these principles. I will also describe the potential use of other flipon classes in genetic programming. Speaker: Alan Herbert, president and founder of InsideOutBio; academic supervisor of the International Laboratory of Bioinformatics.
