Description |
|
Quantitative approaches to evolutionary genomics, systems biology, and ecology unravel several universal regularities connecting genome-scale observables, phenotypes and physiological traits. Putting aside any irrealistic ambitions of a all-inclusive theories, some of these universal empirical trends might qualify as "biological laws" in a similar sense as "law" is understood in modern physics. Consequently, a current challenge for theoreticians is understanding how different universal features emerging empirically can be accounted for by simple mathematical models exploring quantitative laws at different levels, from physiology to evolutionary genomics. | |
