Different Approaches to Theoretical Population Biology

A brief discussion of the main ideas behind population biology. The basic starting points in modelling populations, and common assumptions are discussed. Possible difficulties in assumptions are also mentioned. Different models are discussed as examples, each using different (progressively less) assumptions. Finally, the possible dangers in some of these assumptions is discussed.

Risk and Culture: Is Synthetic Biology Different?

Modeling Biology Spanning Different Scales: An Open Challenge

It is coming nowadays more clear that in order to obtain a unified description of the different mechanisms governing the behavior and causality relations among the various parts of a living system, the development of comprehensive computational and mathematical models at different space and time scales is required. This is one of the most formidable challenges of modern biology characterized by...

On the Different Ways of ‘‘Doing Theory’’ in Biology

‘Theoretical biology’’ is a surprisingly heterogeneous field, partly because it encompasses ‘‘doing theory’’ across disciplines as diverse as molecular biology, systematics, ecology, and evolutionary biology. Moreover, it is done in a stunning variety of different ways, using anything from formal analytical models to computer simulations, from graphic representations to verbal arguments. In thi...

MicroRNA biology in fungi

RNA processing is essential factor for synthesis of functional and structural proteins in eukaryote cells. In eukaryote organisms it will be initiated with transcription of DNA in nucleolus and terminated to mRNA translation in cytoplasm, finally mRNA degraded. Protein synthesis followed as different steps, includes 5' capping, poly adenylating, processing and transferring from nucleolus to cyt...
