![]() leaf tisue. copyright Panthermedia. 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) rulesMy 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 |

Phages represent the most diverse inhabitants on this planet. Until today they are completely underestimated in their number, skills and competences and still remain the dark matter of biology

"Plants assess their surroundings, estimate how much energy they need for particular goals, and then realise the optimum variant. They take measures to control certain environmental resources. They perceive themselves and can distinguish between ‘self ’ and ‘non-self ’."
