Abstract

A number of similarities between living cells and universal computers are considered. Intracellular life processes are compared to computation processes inside a computer. Proteins coordinating intracellular processes are associated with computer programs during runtime. The possibility of the existence of a genetic programming language that allows effectively building new genes from the existing ones is considered.
