Abstract

We examine some common threads between biological sequence analysis and AI methods, and propose a model of human language processing inspired in biological sequence replication and nucleotide bindings. It can express and implement both analysis and synthesis in the same stroke, much as biological mechanisms can analyse a string plus synthesize it elsewhere, e.g. for repairing damaged DNA substrings.
