计算机所能做的就是大量的繁琐的运算,只是帮人们解决公式化的问题。比如DNA的破解。倒是生物对计算机有很大帮助,下一代智能化计算机就有向生物计算机方向的发展。

Molecular biology has until now mainly focussed on individual molecules, on their properties as isolated entities or as complexes in very simple model systems. However, biological molecules in living systems participate in very complex networks, including regulatory networks for gene expression, intracellular metabolic networks and both intra- and intercellular communication networks. Such networks are involved in the maintenance (homeostasis) as well as the differentiation of cellular systems of which we have a very incomplete understanding.

Nevertheless, the progress of molecular biology has made possible the detailed description of the components that constitute living systems, notably genes and proteins. Large scale genome sequencing means that we can (at least in principle) delineate all macromolecular components of a given cellular system, and microarray experiments as well as large
