Special Session 128: How do complex networks improve our knowledge of Biology?
Contents
In recent years a wide variety of biological processes have constituted a fruitful niche to test concepts of complexity and Graph Theory, and for this reason have attracted the attention of many theoretical scientists. The question that we face in this open discussion is whether the results obtained in the field of Biology making use of complex networks: (i) really improve our knowledge of Biology (that is, provide the right answers to the right questions), and (ii) reach experimentalists and cast light on their work (and if not, why!)
