Gene Expression from 2-adic Dynamical Systems

Abstract: We perform geometrization of genetics by representing genetic information by points of the 4-adic information space. By a well-known theorem of number theory this space can also be represented as the 2-adic space. The process of DNA reproduction is described by the action of a 4-adic (or equivalently 2-adic) dynamical system. As we know, the genes contain information for production of proteins. The genetic code is a degenerate map of codons to proteins. We model this map as the functioning of a polynomial dynamical system. The purely mathematical problem under consideration is to find a dynamical system reproducing the degenerate structure of the genetic code. We present one of possible solutions of this problem.
