Modeling structure-function relationships in synthetic DNA sequences using attribute grammars

Authors Yizhi Cai, Matthew W Lux, Laura Adam, Jean Peccoud Publication date 2009/10/9 Journal PLoS computational biology Volume5 Issue10 Pages e1000529 Abstract Recognizing that certain biological functions can be associated with specific DNA sequences has led various fields of biology to adopt the notion of the genetic part. This concept provides a finer level of granularity than the …
