Abstract

This paper continues the discussion of genome as a functional program and biological evolution as learning for functional programs. Here we discuss gene regulation as monadic computation, in particular we consider Lac operon as an analogue of IO monad. This supports the idea of genome as a program written in Haskell-like programming language where recursive applications of lists of functions (genes) express parallel processes in a cell and gene regulation can be described by monadic computations.

基因组是用 Haskell 写的吗？

摘要

本文继续讨论作为功能程序的基因组和作为功能程序学习的生物进化。在这里，我们将基因调控讨论为单子计算，特别是我们将 Lac 操纵子视为 IO 单子的类似物。这支持将基因组作为用类似 Haskell 的编程语言编写的程序的想法，其中函数（基因）列表的递归应用表示细胞中的并行过程，基因调控可以通过单子计算来描述。
