Abstract |
The living organisms may be studied as a whole complex system. The “omics sciences” tend at understanding and describing the global information of genes, mRNA, proteins, and metabolites. The aim of the Bioinformatics should be that of developing methods not only able to study the individual components of a system, but also to represent and simulate the relationships between all these components.
