With ever growing databases of DNA and protein sequences and increasingly powerful techniques for investigating structure and function, molecular biology is becoming not just an experimental science, but a theoretical science as well. The role of theory in molecular biology is not likely to resemble the role of theory in physics, in which mathematicians can offer grand unifying theories.
