Abstract:
That biology and computation, at a very fundamental level, have
been on an interception course has not been news since von Neumann
first played with universal constructors in the 1940s. However it
took another half century for us to see it happening in the study
of the cell biology that inspired it. During this interval, the
relative inefficiency in characterizing biomolecular machinery has
protected us from the realization that we need a new formal
synthesis to represent systems that are complex and non-linear.
Interestingly, once this protection was removed and high
throughput molecular biology methods flooded our ability to
understand the experimental evidence, it took a mere decade for
this now obvious introductory paragraph to be considered a lot of
talking. Let us move to the coding then.
