A system (400), apparatus (300), and method (100) are provided to synchronize distributed (otherwise uncoordinated) networks (400) of independent nodes (401<sb>i</sb>). Such synchronization can be used in a number of different ways. In the context of cognitive radios, such synchronization can be used to synchronize quiet periods. Quiet periods are times when all cognitive radios (that are otherwise uncoordinated) become quiet so that incumbent users can be detected reliably. The technique of the present invention converges quickly and scales well.

A feature of methylation logic is the use of the reversibility of DNA methylation of cytosine and adenine. Logic variables can be negated by reversing the DNA methylation status. Four implementation scenarios are described: three of them use methyl-sensitive restriction enzymes and the fourth uses methyl-binding proteins. Encoding can use either single or double stranded DNA.
