Left symmetric algebras from DNA insertion
Abstract
DNA recombination is a fundamental biological process that encodes genetic information for organism development and function. In this study, we construct the left symmetric algebras arising from the operation of DNA insertion. We define a new operation of insertion by modifying the simplified insertion where , , and denote the lengths of and , respectively. We prove that the algebra (over a field of characteristic , with being an infinite free semigroup generated by DNA nucleotides ) forms a left symmetric algebra if and only if the function satisfies the condition where . A key example of such a function is , where and is a fixed positive number, which effectively models length-dependent DNA insertion dynamics. This work enriches the theory of non-associative algebras and provides a mathematical framework for quantitative analysis of DNA recombination processes.
