Det pågår en dramatisk utveckling av forskningsmetoder att synliggöra biologiska strukturer och fysiologiska förlopp. Utvecklingen löper parallellt med den explosionsartade utvecklingen i molekylär- och proteinbiologi (genomik och proteomik) – det är viktigt att kunna studera var i celler och organismer de identifierade generna uttrycks, var proteinerna är lokaliserade, och under vilka förhållandeThere is a dramatic development of research methods to visualize biological structures and physiological events. This development runs in parallel with the explosive development in molecular biology and protein biology (genomics and proteomics) – it is important to be able to study where, and under which conditions, the identified genes are expressed and where proteins are localized in cells and o

Naturen är komplex och ofta samverkar flera faktorer också i till synes enkla skeenden. Modeller är bra verktyg för att reda ut komplicerade orsakssamband, för att skaffa sig en förståelig bild av ett skeende, eller bara för att presentera sina tankar för andra på ett sätt som undviker missförstånd. Modeller är också nödvändiga verktyg för att göra förutsägelser om framtiden, testa olika scenarierNature is complex and often several factors interact also in seemingly simple processes. Models are useful tools to disentangle complicated relationships, to build a comprehensive description of a process, or simply to present your own thoughts in an unambiguous way. Models are also necessary to make predictions about the future, test different scenarios, etc.. In a good model one can manipulate o
