... If the goal of modeling is to understand biological processes, modelers can help biologists to identify key components that reveal biological structure. For predictive modeling, modelers can help biologists to identify parameters that exert the most influence and the governing principles that place con27

... TOOLS · Having commercial access to assays, gene chips, and other novel tools of biotechnology would streamline scientific research by allowing biologists to concentrate on fundamental questions, rather than preparing the actual tools. Access to inexpensive tools, such as the affordable gene chips provided by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, would also encourage increased research.
