Mapping biology onto computation: a
complex systems approach Multiple levels of complexity link genotypes to phenotypes, from molecules to minds. Networks are a generic way of studying complexity and provide a basis for exploring the computational properties of biological systems, abstracting away from the myriad details of real biology. This talk will describe a network-based approach to modelling mappings between three levels of biological complexity: nucleotide sequences, genetic regulatory networks and ontogeny. |

Lab tutorial 2: Random Boolean Networks
using Matlab This session will begin with a brief introduction to Matlab then go on to visualise some of the behaviours of Random Boolean Networks and investigate what these networks tell us about complex systems of interacting elements. |
