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.
