Discussed are recent developments in biocomputing, outlining research progress from single enzyme-logic operations to systems of scaled-up complexity. Examples of specific logic operations are presented and strategies for system optimization to suppress the spread of noise in enzyme-logic networks are discussed. Special attention is given to electrochemical signal-transducing nanobiointerfaces,...

Finding synchronizing sequences for the finite automata is a very important problem in many practical applications (part orienters in industry, reset problem in biocomputing theory, network issues etc). Problem of finding the shortest synchronizing sequence is NP-hard, so polynomial algorithms probably can work only as heuristic ones. In this paper we propose two versions of polynomial algorith...

MOTIVATION The efficiency of bioinformatics programmers can be greatly increased through the provision of ready-made software components that can be rapidly combined, with additional bespoke components where necessary, to create finished programs. The new standard for C++ includes an efficient and easy to use library of generic algorithms and data-structures, designed to facilitate low-level co...

A new methodology for the analysis of DNA/RNA and protein sequences is presented. It is based on a combined application of spectral analysis and artificial neural networks for extraction of common spectral characterization of a group of sequences that have the same or similar biological functions. The method does not rely on homology comparison and provides a novel insight into the inherent str...
