Our basic biology demands the twain meet before BP and its buddies kill us all.
Motivation: Systems biology demands the use of several point of views to get a more comprehensive understanding of biological problems.
Numerous application areas, including bioinformatics and computational biology (BCB), demand increasing amounts of processing capability.
Many higher-level biology courses demand that students integrate scientific literature into their work; however, they do not provide adequate instruction (Nuss, 1984; Power, 2009).
Systems biology increasingly demands more data, such as images, binding affinities, rate constants, and genomic information.
The required amount of information typical of current Systems Biology studies demands that more and more.
Key points The enormous volume of biology literature demands computational methods to allow pertinent information to be found and analysed efficiently.
The increasing size of datasets in biology has demanded a corresponding increase in the reliance on software to automate tasks that have become impossible to do manually [ 1].
Moreover, the recent advancement of systems biology research demands the expertise of various disciplines of science such as biology, chemistry, mathematics and computer science and hence, to share and discuss the pathway data among the scholars of these disciplines, a standard file format without having any ambiguity or technical jargons is always helpful.
But to meet the aspirations of eLife (or any other would-be general-interest selective biology journal) demands a breadth and depth of knowledge, with the sagacity to apply it appropriately, that are in limited supply, as is the time of professional scientists, especially knowledgeable and sagacious ones.
