Converging
sciences and technologies plus multi-level study and
integration, in biology combining information technology
and biotechnology. In biology: All the elements in the biological system being studied are defined (as the genome and
proteome projects are doing). Then the system
is perturbed in an attempt to discover the relationships of the elements to
one another. Finally, systems
approaches integrate diverse measurements and data to enable graphical
displays and computational models that describe structure and function.
