Parallel communicating Watson-Crick automata systems were introduced in [2] as possible models of DNA computations. This combination of Watson-Crick automata and parallel communicating systems comes as a natural extension due to the new developments in DNA manipulation techniques. It is already known, see [5], that for Watson-Crick finite automata, the complementarity relation plays no active r...

had on our lives,” she says. The Crick archive represents the biggest single acquisition the Trust has ever made. Some of the controversial Crick material on display includes documents relating to the disputes that shed light on the role of Rosalind Franklin and includes a copy of the now famous letter from Maurice Wilkins to Crick. “Our dark lady leaves us...” Wilkins wrote, referring to her t...

In March 1953, 31 years after Howard Carter’s astonishing first glimpse into Tutankhamun's tomb, an even more golden treasure was found. Francis Crick and Jim Watson shared that moment of discovery as they looked, for the first time, into the heart of all living things. They saw the structure of DNA, and their vision became the big bang of modern biology. Francis’ life in research began inauspi...
