Life's code script

摘要

Biological research is in crisis, and in Alan Turing's work there is much to guide us. Technology gives us the tools to analyse organisms at all scales, but we are drowning in a sea of data and thirsting for some theoretical framework with which to understand it. Although many believe that 'more is better', history tells us that 'least is best'. We need theory and a firm grasp on the nature of the objects we study to predict the rest.
