Biosemiotic Entropy of the Genome: Mutations and Epigenetic Imbalances Resulting in Cancer

Biosemiotic Entropy of the Genome: Mutations and Epigenetic Imbalances Resulting in Cancer

Biosemiotic entropy involves the deterioration of biological sign systems. The genome is a coded sign system that is connected to phenotypic outputs through the interpretive functions of the tRNA/ribosome machinery. This symbolic sign system (semiosis) at the core of all biology has been termed &...
