- Title
Turing centenary: Life's code script.
- Authors
Brenner, Sydney
- Abstract
The author discusses the works of computer and code pioneer Alan Turing and his role in the development of Turing machines that match human intelligence. She cites several scientific papers on biology written by Turing which explored the patterns that are generated in plants and animals through chemical substances called morphogens and set out the instability theory. She also provides an account of Turing's contributions to the development of computing machines used in biological tests.
