Abstract
A number of basic life processes can be considered as computations. Natural Computing studies these computations. We can distinguish two types of Natural Computing. One is devoted to understanding the computations in biology and the other is to develop human designed computing inspired by nature. A representative of the first type is Gene Assembly and a representative of the second type is Membrane Computing. Gene Assembly Gene Assembly is one of the most complex types of DNA transformation known in organisms. Gene assembly occurs in ciliates, a large group of one cellular organisms. Ciliates have two nuclei (instead of one in other organisms): the macronucleus and the micronucleus. The micronucleus contains chromosomes, but the genes on the chromosomes are silent: segments of the genes (called MDSs) are dispersed on the chromosomes. The macronucleus contains all genes with their segments properly aligned as separate DNA fragments. Gene Assembly is the process which transforms a micronucleus into a macronucleus. The process is nondeterministic and always halts.
