Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This paper introduces and investigates a generative mechanism based on some operations inspired by the large-scale mutations in genomes (deletion, inversion, transposition, duplication). Basic questions regarding these devices and their generated languages are investigated: generative capacity, closure properties, decidability. We also briefly discuss a few problems concerning our model with respect to some structural features of the nucleic acids.
