The implications for Bioinformatics of integration across physical scales
Bioinformatics blossomed with research developments in molecular biology. But as the focus of research moves back up the physical scale to the biology of whole multicellular organisms, there are new integration challenges. Data integration is a perennial theme that will not be explored here. Rather, we outline a survey of the types of data generated in whole organisms, putting particular emphasis on complex image capture, management and analysis, bio-systems modelling techniques at this higher scale, and approaches to integrating models across these physical scales. This change in biological focus raises certain challenges, one of which may be the need to retrain bioinformaticians in sciences pertaining to whole plants and animals.
