自然计算关注的是发生在自然界中的计算。对活细胞中计算的研究是该领域研究的中心和发展最快的领域之一。纤毛虫(单细胞生物体)中的基因组装就是这种计算的一个极好的例子，从生物学和计算的角度来看，这都是很有趣的。事实上，生物学和计算科学都受益于对基因组装的计算本质的跨学科研究--这项工作有助于澄清基因组装的重要生物学方面，对计算的本质产生了新的见解，并拓宽了我们对计算的理解。这本专著对基因组装过程的生物学和形式分析进行了通俗易懂的描述。它既可以作为研究生课程的教科书，也可以作为研讨会的教科书。
Natural Computing is concerned with computation that is taking place in Nature. The investigation of computations in living cells is one of the central and fastest growing areas of research in this field. Gene assembly in ciliates (unicellular organisms) is a splendid example of such computations, and it is fascinating from both the biological and the computational viewpoints. As a matter of fact, both biology and the science of computation have benefited from the interdisciplinary research on the computational nature of gene assembly–this work has helped to clarify important biological aspects of gene assembly, yielded novel insights into the nature of computation, and broadened our understanding of what computation is about. This monograph gives an accessible account of both the biology and the formal analysis of the gene assembly process. It can be used as a textbook for either graduate courses or seminars.
