Splicing Systems from Past to Future: Old and New Challenges
A splicing system is a formal model of a recombinant behaviour of sets of
double stranded DNA molecules when acted on by restriction enzymes and ligase.
In this survey we will concentrate on a specific behaviour of a type of
splicing systems, introduced by P\u{a}un and subsequently developed by many
researchers in both linear and circular case of splicing definition. In
particular, we will present recent results on this topic and how they stimulate
new challenging investigations.Comment: Appeared in: Discrete Mathematics and Computer Science. Papers in
