Bioinformatics core competencies for undergraduate life sciences education.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Although bioinformatics is becoming increasingly central to research in the life sciences, bioinformatics skills and knowledge are not well integrated into undergraduate biology education. This curricular gap prevents biology students from harnessing the

BioGateway: a semantic systems biology tool for the life sciences [PDF]

BMC Bioinformatics, 2009
Abstract Background Life scientists need help in coping with the plethora of fast growing and scattered knowledge resources. Ideally, this knowledge should be integrated in a form that allows them to pose complex questions that address the properties of biological systems, independently from the origin of the ...

Canguilhem and the Machine Metaphor in Life Sciences: History of Science and Philosophy of Biology at the Service of Sciences

Transversal: International Journal for the Historiography of Science, 2018
The metaphor is used in the construction process of scientific knowledge. There are, however, metaphors that do not suit the objects they should represent, which thus impacts the accuracy of the knowledge which derives from these objects.
