Mathematical modeling and synthetic biology.
Synthetic biology is an engineering discipline that builds on our mechanistic understanding of molecular biology to program microbes to carry out new functions. Such predictable manipulation of a cell requires modeling and experimental techniques to work together. The modeling component of synthetic biology allows one to design biological circuits and analyze its expected behavior. The experime...
متن کاملHow "you" makes meaning.
"You" is one of the most common words in the English language. Although it typically refers to the person addressed ("How are you?"), "you" is also used to make timeless statements about people in general ("You win some, you lose some."). Here, we demonstrate that this ubiquitous but understudied linguistic device, known as "generic-you," has important implications for how people derive meaning...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling in Biology: Philosophy and Pragmatics
uniFication Unification involves the integration and synthesis of disparate types of evidence and models. For instance, Darwin unified hybridization, developmental, paleontological, and biogeographical data under a single theory. in mathematical modeling, unification often entails embedding – a subsumption relation allowing for the unification of (i) various mathematical theories/ models and (i...
متن کاملMathematical modeling: epidemiology meets systems biology.
This issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, and Prevention includes a study on mathematical modeling of biological processes. Sokhansanj and Wilson describe a mathematical model that mimics the kinetics of base excision repair and thus permits them to investigate in silico the effects of genetic variation in this important DNA repair pathway (1). Why should epidemiologists have interest in t...
متن کاملTranslating data into meaning: education in conservation biology.
Most scientists recognize that species are disappearing at an alarming rate, and many disappear before we can even name them, let alone understand their evolutionary history or role in their ecosystems. The reason for biodiversity losses is largely anthropogenic. As a response to this crisis, professional biologists founded the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) in 1987 (Soulé 1987). One of...
