RODRIGUEZ, Pablo Esteban. La semiosis "social" de las biomoléculas . Trama comun. [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp.67-86. ISSN 1668-5628.

The article studies the way in which the current genetics uses notions from the sciences of the language to understand) the activity of biomolecules: code, expression, silencing, edition they are some of these terms. It proposes an itinerary beginning with the general formulations that, from the 19th century, referred to a biomolecular code and ending with the fusion between molecular biology and technological theory of the information developed by the Central Dogma of the molecular biology in the 1950 decade. Then, based on the notion of genetic code, models of comprehension applied by the sciences of the language to the genetics were analyzed: molecular linguistics, biosemiotics and the relationship of both with the classic communication models of sender-message-receiver, mentioned directly by the Central Dogma, showing the limits of the different models and the link with some recent experimental discoveries of molecular biology. Finally, it is suggested that the theory of the social discourses of E. Verón might be taken as a new "bio-significant" model. With this approach, it is expected to contribute to the field of the communication sciences by including certain aspects of the molecular biology under its aegis.

Keywords : Genetic code; Central dogma; Molecular linguistics; Biosemiotics; Social discourses.
