Biological trajectories toward universal computation: Transposons and chaperone-assisted folding as models of molecular logic.

This paper argues that transposons, exemplified by the ONSEN retrotransposon in Arabidopsis thaliana, implement signal-responsive genome state transitions formally analogous to probabilistic finite-state machine computation, with capacity for computational expressiveness consistent with that of a linear-bounded automat...
