Memory – A Phenomenon of Arrangement

Abstract

Because genes could explain so much in the biomedical sciences, in the twentieth century it was tempting to assume they could explain everything. So, for many, the bioinformatic analysis of genomes came to mean the bioin formatic analysis of genes and their products. However, bioinformatics slowly became less gene-centered. Evolutionary bioinformatics – the ‘new bioinformatics’ – views genomes as channels conveying multiple forms of information through the generations from the distant past to the present.
