| Nov 15, 2015 at 19:22 | comment | added | kate | Thank you very much for your all warm and informative comments. I thought that studying DNA sequences only is enough but it seems that's not the case; it's much more complex than the languages that human made by themselves. Hope I can catch up on proteins and gene ontology, at least grasp the basic understanding. Thank you very much for your help. | |

| Nov 15, 2015 at 17:56 | comment | added | kate | By "derive" I mean as in "derivation" or "derivation tree" in formal languages field. | |
| Nov 15, 2015 at 17:50 | comment | added | rumtscho | @kate I still don't understand your question. What are DNA sequences supposed to be derived from? | |
| Nov 15, 2015 at 17:46 | comment | added | kate | Thank you for the valuable information. So to understand the "language" of DNA, or at least to understand how DNA sequences are derived, simply parsing the nucleotides/DNA sequences is not enough because they are mere storage? To cover protein etc is too big for me for now, but it is interesting. | |

| Nov 15, 2015 at 16:23 | comment | added | kate | So better to think it as a storage medium.. Thank you very much! | |

Maybe this encoding fulfils the definition of a formal language, but if you have never gone into that branch of maths, any comparison will be more confusing than enlightening. | |

| Nov 15, 2015 at 14:03 | comment | added | kate | Thank you for the comment. I think DNA has its own "language" which is probably unknown yet. My question is,(1) is the "language" of DNA already known? (2) is there any hint already known for understanding the "language" of DNA? Hint might be anything, such as patterns.. because I don't really understand much about bioinformatics. | |
