However, it is becoming
clear that we need to reverse the process, and to study how these components
interact to form complex systems.
|
|
|
|
This poses the question,
given the complete genomic sequence, is it possible to reconstruct the
functions of a cellular or biological system.
|
|
|
|
The process of
reconstructing the biological system from the reductionist information will
rely on bioinformatics to identify the “parts catalogue” if you will.
|
|
|
|
However, the parts catalogue
does not contain functional information.
for example, listing all the parts of car, does not even begin to
describe the how the the automobile
works.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, to understand
multigenic functions, a systems science analysis is required.
