Is Genome Written in Haskell?

Abstract This paper continues the discussion of genome as a functional program and biological evolution as learning for functional programs. Here we discuss gene regulation as monadic computation, in particular we consider Lac operon as an analogue of IO monad. This supports the idea of genome as a program written in Haskell-like programming language where recursive applications of lists of functions (genes) express parallel processes in a cell and gene regulation can be described by monadic computations.
