Every assumption is analyzed, every chain of inference unhooked link by link, scrutinized and snapped back together again.
An unbroken chain of inference connects the plans of the programmer to the actions of the electrons that ultimately implement them.
The chain of inference that goes from ladderane production in K. stuttgartiensis to non-standard fatty acid biosynthesis operons in K. stuttgartiensis to syntenic operons in D. psychrophila.
