Abstract

DNA expressions constitute a formal notation for DNA molecules that may contain nicks and gaps. Different DNA expressions may denote the same DNA molecule. We define a (minimal) normal form for the language of DNA expressions, and describe an algorithm to rewrite a given DNA expression into the normal form.
