The way that ciliates transform genes from their micronuclear to the macronuclear form is very interesting (and unique), also from a computational point of view. In this paper, we describe the model of gene assembly in ciliates presented in (2), (3), and (4). Moreover, we prove that the set of three operations underlying this model is universal, in the sense
