Produktinformationen zu „Philosophy of Bioinformatics “
Bioinformatics is a relatively new discipline within Biology that has contributed
significantly to the development of biological knowledge. It uses a
variety computational tools, such as BLAST and DNA microarrays, that have
become almost ubiquitously used in the biological world. This work
demonstrates that these tools utilize the scientific methods of extended
cognition, analogical reasoning, and representations of mechanisms. This
analysis of Bioinformatics and its tools and processes is the first
comprehensive work of its kind. It is intended to present that Bioinformatics
should not only be of interest to biologists, but also to philosophers on how
Biology is radically changing through Bioinformatics. Also relevant is how
various scientific methods, generally thought to be cursory to the scientific
enterprise, actually take on a more central role.
