biosemiótica, gen, información, PeirceResumen
En este artículo presentamos algunas consideraciones sobre una interpretación semiótica de los sistemas de información genética, como una base para la elucidación del concepto de información, que carece en biología de una teoría que posibilite la comprensión de sus aspectos semánticos y pragmáticos. La teoría de los signos de Peirce incluye conceptos que ayudan a entender como genes en el DNA pueden tener una significación biológica para la célula. Con base en estos conceptos, hacemos un análisis semiótico de los sistemas de información genética.
