Modularity in Systems Biology
The hypothesis that biological systems are “modular” is widely accepted in systems biology, and there is a large body of literature on the topic. However, at this time there is no consensus what the right definition of module is, whether it should be a structural or a dynamic property or both, and what the concrete benefits of modularity are for an organism. This interdisciplinary working group aims to approach this subject from both a biological and a computational direction. Through a series of presentations, discussions, and subgroups focused on specific topics, it provides a forum for researchers interested in this topic. We are collecting resources, papers, and software around the theme of modularity, write papers, and provide means of communication for its members.
