“Paradigm Shift”
“The new paradigm, now emerging, is that all the 'genes' will be known (in the sense of being resident in databases available electronically), and that the starting point of a biological investigation will be theoretical. An individual scientist will begin with a theoretical conjecture, only then turing to experiment to follow or test that hypothesis.”
-Walter Gilbert. Toward a paradigm shift in biology. Nature, 349: 99 (1991).
“典范转移”
“现在出现了的新范式,我们将知道所有“基因”(从数据库中提取)。生物学研究的将是起始于理论上的,科学家将从理论推测开始,然后进行实验以检验该假设。”
