Burks, C

We seek to describe a starting point for modeling the evolution of DNA sequences within the framework of cellular automata by discussing the current understanding of genetic information storage in DNA sequences. This includes alternately viewing the role of DNA in living organisms as a simple scheme and as a complex scheme; a presentation of the extent of experimentally determined DNA sequence data present in the Los Alamos Nucleic Acid Database; and finally, a brief review of strategies for identifying and classifying patterns in DNA sequences.
