Description
Summary:DNA splicing system is initiated by Head to mathematically model a relation between formal language theory and DNA molecules. In DNA splicing systems, DNA molecules are cut and recombined in specific ways with the existence of enzymes, which are also known as endonucleases, to produce further molecules. The resulting molecules are depicted as splicing languages by using concepts in formal languages theory. A sequence of restriction enzyme that reads the same forward and backward is called as a palindromic rule. Previously, researches on different types of splicing languages have been done. In this research, generalisations of splicing languages resulting from DNA splicing systems with non-overlapping cutting sites of two palindromic restriction enzymes are presented as theorems using the induction method. The results from this research are beneficial for researchers in the field of DNA computing since it contributes to the development of splicing languages generated from DNA splicing systems with different palindromic restriction enzymes by using these generalisations.
