My research interests are biocommunication processes and natural genome editing.
This means that:

cells, tissues, organs and organisms coordinate and organize by communication

processes, i.e. sign.mediated interactions

nucleotide sequence order and the ratio of genome architecture are structured

language-like, i.e. follow combinatorial (syntactic), context-sensitive (pragmatic)

and content-specific (semantic) rules
My investigations therefore focus on

sign-mediated interactions within and between all kind of cellular organisms

(archaea, bacteria, eukarya)

the role of persistent viruses and subviral agents in replication, transcription,

translation, repair and recombination

persistent viral agents and the evolution of their persistence

applied linguistic competences of natural genetic engineers

the role of viruses in the evolution of tissues and organs

the role of subviral RNAs in the generation of viral identities

communal and cooperative evolutionary processes

natural invention and integration of novel nucleitide sequences

Multiply (re)usable nucleotide sequence contents and regulatory agents

immunity: pragmatic conditions, syntactic sequence order, semantic content flow
